North Island 1600 – 2016 – Get the Skinny from Skinny

This weekend sees me head off on my fifth North Island 1600km ride – that’s 1600km in less than 24 hours. The ride is organised by the Distance Riders group. It starts in Turangi at 1.00pm on Saturday 8 October, and ends in Turangi at 1.00pm on Sunday 9 October.

The weather is looking rubbish. Here’s a weather map of the North Island on Sunday at 1.00am. Heavy rain, and strong winds.
