I include the asterisk, because Big Bay on the Manukau Heads is just under 18km from my house as the crow flies, but is 109km by bike! Was hoping to do an overnight trip there this summer (riding from Pukekohe station), but haven't yet found a weekend that works, aiming to do it soon!

Started off 5 years ago this week with a lockdown challenge to ride every street within 3km of my house. Kept going in subsequent lockdowns, adding 1km at a time. Now have ridden every* street within 18km of my house, which covers 46% of roads in the Auckland region!
