Family, friends and fun

Written By Kim Manunui

Wow, now we are in November and only 2 training weekends left before event day.

October in itself was quite eventful for all the wrong reasons as family health issues took a priority over riding so only a few more short rides completed.

The magpies seem to have been behaving this season, even though my helmet is now complete with cable ties on top, and eyes on the back of my head. The traffic hasn’t been as friendly with some of my usual training roads now having increased flow due to the Highway 1 detours.

The hills are getting easier thankfully, and my foot is gaining enough strength that I don’t need a kerb any longer…just as well, as road works have put stop and go traffic lights in to hinder me.

So, with everything going on I have made the choice to change categories and ride the Length of the Lake with a couple of good friends, (shown below) - one who us new to cycling. We will have a really fun weekend, which it is all about ultimately, and hopefully next year will be back to around the lake.

So bring on the next few weeks, some sunny days and more training rides and looking forward to Event Day being fun with family and friends - not to mention all the new people you meet out on course also. Bring it on.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
