Huw Kingston and Laurence Mote are a third of the way through their 90-day, 4000-kilometre journey from the north to the south of the country, which will also seem them tackle the slopes of 24 ski areas.
It's all in aid of raising funds for Save the Children - specifically, a project in Vanuatu to build climate-resilient classrooms.
Resilience is something Laurence knows well - in 2013 the former Kiwi representative cyclist was left in a coma after a bee sting and is now legally blind.
This Alpine Odyssey is not Huw's first - he did something similar in Australia three years ago - just one of many incredible expeditions he's undertaken.
Both of them take a well-deserved break in their journey before they head across Cook Strait to tell Kathryn why they wanted to do this adventure, and the challenges they've struck along the way. More information about how to donate is here.
