How you feeling Monty?
(Gulp) A bit rough Jimbob.
Did you drink your ginger tea like I told you too?
Oh shut up you bloody hippy. All I want from you is some spare brake pads when we get to Christchurch OK?

This bike ride is (apart from a holiday for me!) to raise money for Re-cycle, a charity that does up old bikes and sends them to Africa where they are distributed to those that need them the most. All money donated will go to Re-cycle and will be mostly used to go towards the shipping costs of the bikes. I will be leaving Bluff on (hopefully) the 3rd December after a 10 day walk around north Stuart Island and plan to arrive at Cape Reinga early February.
Re-Cycle Bikes to Africa
I would like to make a donation with a credit/debit card
Please click on the address below and then in the `I would like to support` section please choose the Bluff to Cape Reinga option. The money goes to the same place as general funds but this way we can keep track of money raised.

Hi! I found out about your ride from the YHA newsletter, and researched the organizations. Great! I don't know if you are aware of this, but if you can get your organization listed on the NZ government's list of approved charities, then we Kiwis get a whopping 30% of our donation returned to us by the NZ government. And beginning in 2008, there will be no upper limit on these donations.
I will donate once your credit card link is working. And, I would also love to know if there will be NZ branch of re-cycle starting up. I would like to help them. Here is a link to my blog: www.diane-emerson.blogspot.com I am cycling the world doing volunteer work as I go. Stay safe!!
Hi Dianne - Tried to find a way to put a comment on your Blog but couldn`t find one. There is an NZ branch now started up. Web-site address is:
