DAY SIXTY THREE

A beautiful morning enticed us onto our bikes to ride a bit more of the Great Taste Cycle Trail. 🌞 So after a brief visit to the local cycle shop for a quick repair to Roger's bike, then the obligatory coffee stop at a coffee roaster we were passing, we were good to go. 60km, almost dead batteries and almost dead legs later, we limped in the door for a cold drink 🧃and a breather. We rode from Motueka to Mapua warf for those of you familiar with the area. We'd previously ridden Richomnd to Mapua so wanted to complete this leg. The reason for the low batteries was 2 very steep long hills which gave our thighs and bikes a good workout . 🥵 Mind you, we'd enjoyed the same hills going the other way 😊
Anyhow was a great day with a very nice lunch at the Mapua Village Bakery 🥪🥮 and beautiful coastline along the way too.⛵️⛱️ Now in Richmond staying at the samp camp as Sharon and Grant so nice to catch up with them again. Photo 2 and 3 give you an indication of the elevation of our ride. 6 is a bike stand created from cycle parts and because I always try and give you something to make you smile you have 7 and 8 🤣 Czytaj więcej
