« Previous EntriesWhitianga to Turangi: Beautiful Scenery, Stiff Legs & Confusing Pronunciations
Friday, December 30th, 2011After being completely drenched by rain the day before, we were happy to wake up to dry conditions in Whitianga, even though it was still awfully grey. We spent some time exploring town before pushing off, including visiting the surprisingly great little bike shop that we were completely not expecting. From Whitianga (that [...]
Kiwi Short: Much Ado About Nothing
Monday, December 26th, 2011I’m busy editing the 3rd episode which is a little tougher than the first two because there is no defining storyline yet. This is cute little sequence that probably won’t make the next Kiwi Chronicles but I wanted to share it anyway. It’s also significant because its the first video I’ve edited on [...]

A New Zealand Descent
Monday, December 19th, 2011Just a quickie video from today’s ride. Descending on S25 into the small town of Tairua. It was twisty and turny and quite a thrilling ride. One of our best descents so far on this trip. Total length was about 8 minutes but it is obviously sped up in the video. [...]
Mis-Adventuring on the Coromandel

Auckland and Beyond
Wednesday, December 14th, 2011We’ve had a busy week in Auckland. We were set to leave Auckland on Thursday, but after coffee with some Auckland bicycle advocates we were persuaded to stay until the weekend to witness the first LEGAL crossing of bicycles over the Harbor bridge and we are glad we stayed. The Harbor Bridge (called [...]

Learning to Ride on the Left
Wednesday, December 7th, 2011It never really hits you that you’re in a different country until a few days after you’ve arrived. The change is so abrupt and so sudden that, though your body may have made the trip, your mind is still at the airport at home checking in. It’s our third day in New Zealand [...]
