ACTIVITY 2 THE GREAT TAUPO CYCLE CHALLENGE
Every year approximately 7500 people arrive in Taupo, New Zealand to compete in a one-day cycling race around Lake Taupo. The race route is 160 km in length. Participants can choose to compete in the full race or the half-race (80 km). Let’s imagine that you were given a free ticket to compete in the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge next year and you were able to bring three people with you as your ‘support crew.’ Who would you bring with you?
If it was me, I would choose my son, Aronui, as one of my supporters because he’s really funny and energetic. I think that he would make sure that I had a great time and that I spent the entire day laughing and smiling. I would also choose my sister, Leigh, because she is very strong and fast. Thirdly, I would choose my co-leader, Hazel, because she is very organised and would make sure that we followed the trail and didn’t get lost!
On your blog, list the three people you would like to have on your Lake Taupo Cycle Race Support Crew. Tell us why you have chosen each person.

I would take my mum and my dad and my little brother because there good helpers and good supporters. I chose my mum because i know she is a good supporter like my dad thats why i chose her and i know that they will cheer me on. I want my mum and dad and little brother to be there because they make me happy when there are there for me my dad makes me happy and support me and my mum helps me and my little brother cheers me on and they all make me happy. My brother makes me laugh when im sad and he tells me jokes and we talk he tells me jokes to make me happy he respects me and I respect him too.
Ata Mārie Jahrey,
ReplyDeleteI’m Dani, I’m a blog commenter from the Summer Learning Journey. I grew up in Northland then I moved down to Auckland to study and now I live in Three Kings. I normally spend my time in the Kaikohekohe cluster but we decided I should see some of the awesome posts in the Ako Hiko cluster! I am looking forward to spending some time in Ako Hiko and I hope to see some great posts!
Wow, sounds like you are going to have a very supportive crew to help you for the Taupo Cycle Race. I think i would bring my mum as well because she is very good at organising things and she would bring lots of snacks! Do you think you would want to ever compete in the race? I think I would compete in one of the races that only goes around a quarter or a half of Lake Taupo. I would need to do months of training to be able to do the full race around Lake Taupo. Which race would you want to race in?
Keep up the awesome work!
Blog ya later,
Dani
