Spring Training

Written By Kim Manunui

I'm writing this while I sit inside on what is probably one of the wettest days we have seen for a while.

Spring has sprung in the air but not necessarily the legs yet.  There is cherry blossom everywhere and we have had some stunning days, nearly warm enough to lose the arm warmers.

There is less than 2 months now to go till event day! I've finally managed to get some rides above 50km in and I’m looking forward to ramping up the training and really getting some distance in for October. 

This time last year I was having my surgery on my Achilles and had to enjoy the sunshine seated reading a book. My physio assures me that there will be a few people out there that haven't done as much training as I have and will still make it around, I'm sure this is true. It’s surprising what you can pull out on the day.

It is probably time to take my flat pedals off and put the clip pedals back on, and so far so good on the magpie front, no swoopers as yet so I don't need a helmet full of cable ties and eyes in the back of my head…long may it last.

My recent learning is that no matter how long you stare at a hill, they don't get shorter or flatter so don't look at them, just keep on pedaling.

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.
