Welcome to our blog

Hi and welcome to the cycling blog of Pete and Kym.

We are going to use this blog to track our adventures cycling the length of the South Island of New Zealand. We will try and update this as much as we can whilst we are on the road, but this is very dependent on Internet coverage along the west coast of New Zealand. I'll be carrying an iPhone that hopefully we can blog from that.

A couple of things to notice about the site.

  • Proposed Route Map: This is a google map of our proposed route. It will probably bear little or no resemblance to the actual progress of our trip, so we will try and keep it updated so you can work out roughly where we are.

  • Cycling Terror Ratings: This chart was provided to by the CIA (Cycling Intelligence Agency). We will use this chart to help you be "Alert but not Alarmed" about our progress.

  • RSS Feeds: If you are lazy like me and don't want to check the site every day but want to be notified of progress you can subscribe to an RSS feed using the options at the right, or if your RSS Aggregator is not listed use the following link: http://peteandkymcyclenewzealand.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

    If the whole stuff about RSS was complete mumbo-jumbo to you then chances are you don't use RSS. If you still want to be updated, then send me your email address and I will set you up to be automatically emailed when we change the site.

Please feel free to send us a message of encouragement (we will probably need it) either via the comments on a post, or alternatively email us at:

So welcome, and enjoy.
Cheers,
Kym
