is Maidei ever going to cross the international date line? or the Equator for that matter?

Good point !

After a whirl'wind' trip round Auckland's Woodhill forest & a trip to the beach , she is going down to 'windy' Wellington to visit Pip.... I don't go to Hawaii until end of February, so we'll need to post her on her way to the northern hemipshere....... but to whom do we send her ????

You could certainly start on the west coast of the USA after Hawaii, there are scads of us here in Western Washington, more than one of us with close links to Oregon and California...

MillieNZ, there is another TE member who lives in Maui. I met her last year when we vacationed in Maui. She is aware of Maidei's journey. At this time, she is in Bali until around Feb.

Don't know if she is checking her email regularily while in Bali.

Mimi, maybe it might be better Maidie starts in California after NZ/Hawaii. Northwest coast weather would be better after Feb./March ..in case some of us cycle long distances in relay.

Just a thought. Anyway, Maidei could be passed around in Vancouver area/VAncouver Island area after north Washington area?

We need to make a blog for Maidei. It will be easier to follow and post pics, no?

What about Singapore??

Shooting star - that is cool that you got to meet when you were in Maui. We didn't start corresponding until about a month AFTER I was in Maui.

Anyway I am on Facebook with her if anyone needs to find out anything. Too bad Maidie wasn't with her - She was just in Singapore!

weather is going to get nicer here in Singapore, so, it'll be good to send her here! how is this mapping out?

[MillieNZ]

I arrived safely in New Zealand on Wednesday and took full advantage of the Auckland sunshine to rest, recover and top up my suntan …. Sunday was my first planned ride with MNZ on a local trail in East Auckland, hopefully I’ll be following that up with a road ride round the Hunua ranges before heading off to Wellington to visit Pip by next weekend

Unfortunately Sunday morning was rather damp, MNZ blames CC in Perth for some forum comment about Auckland’s dodgy weather,

We headed out and took some paths over fields that had been cut for hay which was rather bumpy before heading up some nice gravel paths over a local country park before heading down to the beach for a catch of the water and some boats fishing ... then we headed back home about the same time as the sun broke through the clouds

Hopefully my evening road ride will be sunny !

A few piccies of me :

PS - MNZ will post this to my Blog later this evening when she can access it from home

PPS - After Wellington - looks like Pip will send me to Singapore if everyone is ok with that ?

PPPS - MNZ will move to Oahu , Hawaii in March so happy to host me again for a Hawaiin adventure with my other Hawaiian TE host in Maui

Someday depending on when and where she's on the west coast I bet a hand off to Norway could be done
