The MP Challenge- National's Nikki Kaye Vs Labour's Trevor Mallard.
Vs 
On Budget night Auckland National MP Nikki Kaye challenged Trevor to a race around Taupo during the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge. Trevor accepted having already completed the cycle challenge four times previously, not taking Nikki as a finely tuned athlete. However Nikki completed the recent Coast to Coast, as an individual, and finished just outside the top 50. Both Nikki and Trevor will be publishing their cycling blogs here on RideStrong.
