Just outside of Hawera this morning there's a team of cyclists getting ready for one of the last legs of an 800km ride from Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland to New Plymouth where they are hoping to be in time for the Te Matatini pōwhiri at 10am on Monday.
It is all in aid of the Smear your Mea campaign which encourages women to have cervical smears and men to get their prostates checked.
One of the lead riders is Dr Ururoa Flavell and he speaks to Susie Ferguson.
