NZ Uphill

My major new year resolution came to me a little late this year. Well to be honest, I made it on New Years Eve, but kept it under my hat for a bit, just to make really damn sure I wasn’t just drunk and it is something I might like to do.

To show that the recession is less of an uphill battle than people think, I’m doing my bit by riding NZ uphill on a bike. A push bike that is. And on the way I am going to do many detours to meet some interesting people and places, and I will be sharing the whole experience through yet another blog called nzuphill.8degrees.co.nz, where you will get good lengthy posts about my prep and journeys, plus I will be updating the world via Twitter, and any other damn social media channel I can find. Also by starting at the bottom it is more of a challenge (cause it is uphill you know ;) ).

Really it is to get myself in better condition, and to do something interesting with my life. Here is my first post on why the hell I am doing it, over on nzuphill.8degrees.co.nz.
