Dynamo Del!

Tuesday 8th February 2011
Well, he was supposed to be in Hamilton tonight, but Del broke his own record and cycled 123 kms today and ended up in Cambridge. He lost a bit of time trying to get back onto SH1 from Drury and had to double back a couple of times but arrived in Hamilton by early afternoon and decided that he might as well try for Cambridge. It was a little further away than he had anticipated but he got there - sweaty and tired!

Meanwhile I received a lovely letter from Nelson, from the mother of an ex-pupil of Orewa North Primary School where Del and I taught in the 70's and 80's. She and her husband donated $100 to Del's Cycle Challenge in appreciation.  Thank you so much Mr and Mrs Varey. Your generous support is much appreciated. Please pass on our regards to Peter.

Well done on making it to Cambridge! Loved the shot of you on Devonport ferry yesterday. We're really enjoying your great Kiwi road trip and mapping it out here in New York. x Kim, Wayne and Havana.
