Description
209 days later, around 16 000km later, 11 countries and so many good people that Ron & Adam have met. They come to you from Auckland, New Zealand where they have been off the bike for 2 weeks, and for the first time in a while, don’t have sore legs. They wrap-up their amazing journey from Turangi to Auckland, where they officially handed over the Rugby World Cup whistle to Maggie Cogger-Orr at Eden Park on Saturday 8 October 2022.
Highlights of this leg included visiting Cycling New Zealand at the High Performance Center in Cambridge; visiting the DHL team at their brand new service center near the airport and having an amazing welcoming ceremony in Whangārei. This was one of the most special experiences that both Ron & Adam have engaged in and they are so grateful to Northland Rugby for the warm welcome.
Arriving at Eden Park was something so special, emotions were high and the reality that Ron & Adam had cycled all the way from Tokyo with the whistle became a surreal thought. They handed over the whistle and then spent the afternoon watching a few great matches from the hospitality suite. What a day of being able to enjoy the rugby and look back on their journey.
Ron & Adam have seriously enjoyed producing this podcast, can’t explain the growth they have experienced since March 2022 and leave us with the message - start small, tour where you would like to go and start. You will never regret it.
Thank you to all the people who have fed and housed Ron & Adam along their way to Auckland. BIG LOVE.
Catch you when we are on our way to France for Rugby World Cup 2023!
