Three generations cycling and giving across NZ - Local News - The Southland Times

Three generations cycling and giving across NZ - Local News - The Southland Times: "The cycling party from the Pye family included grandad and grandmother, four sons and daughters, a 2-year-old toddler who rode on the back of her father's bike, two partners of the Pyes and a family friend.

Having started from the cape on December 7, they rode into Bluff on Saturday having completed 2400km, about 120km a day.

The family, in various combinations, have completed numerous cycle tours together around the world since 2000. Each time they pay their own expenses before raising money at home for different charity organisations in the country they are touring. Grandmother Jenny Pye said she did not like the feeling of 'just' being a tourist."
