For a Kiwi accountant who seemingly took up cycling only a few years ago, Auckland, can hammer hard.  Expect to see John keeping the pace on in lots of Muggs' rides in the future, whereupon come year end, this Kiwi won't have much in front of him.  Samurai, who took to kayaking recently, reckons Auckland is a seasoned kayaker, who taught Tony how to roll.
Keeping the rubber side down is an integral priority in road cycling.  But it seems that doing 360^o rolls goes with the territory in kayaking.  But it is important to know how to fall on ya noggin.
