Mitchel BulthuisThis is Mitch and Lesa the Tandem bike team you met in Broom. Reads much like our ride just you had less wind. We are currently watching the snow fall in Boise ID. We will be in Christchurch on the 25 Feb. Come join us if you want a new adventure.

Janet O'BrienTo Mitchel BulthuisHi Mitch and Lesa, sorry for the delayed reply! It is great you are going to cycle NZ, it will be way more scenic than outback Australia 🤔
We are 3 weeks from departing to Sri Lanka - thought we would try something culturally different! We are looking forward to it and we are not sure if we will survive the hot curries 🤣
Have fun in NZ and we will follow your blog to see how you are going ... safe travelling 😃

And that's a wrap for us on this tour!  Not sure where or when the next one is!  Very happy to have completed my circumnavigation around Australia, albeit spread over a long period!  Not sure when or where the next cycle tour is maybe Europe/France?

Well here it is - an overview of our trip
