Poll: Would you try ultra-distance cycling?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

While the world’s top cyclists are riding for Olympic medals in Paris, one professional cyclist is cracking out 270km or more a day as part of world record attempt that’s rolled through New Zealand this week.

Ultra-distance cyclist Lael Wilcox is trying to ride around the world in 110 days and seven of those have just been spent covering 1534.36 kilometres of New Zealand roads.

Is ultra-distance cycling something you'd ever try? Tell us your reasons in the comments (add NFP if you don't want them used in print).

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
