• A Cracker Ride

    February 7 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Bit of a cloudy, chilly start to the day so a good chance to lie in. Then a yummy cooked breakfast to sustain us on our big ride. Really enjoyed today's cycle!!!! (Even the 7.5k Pukaki flat didn't seem tedious) So nice after yesterday's disappointment. Started in Twizel township and rode across some very dry plains to Lake Pukaki then around the lake for 10k. Stopped lakeside for a snack and rest then turned around and did it all again. Stopped at the Pukaki visitors centre and salmon shop for photos and smoked salmon. 😋 Excellent ride 40k and a very satisfying day with a nice riding temperature. (It did warm up) Now in the Miller's drive way for a couple of weeks. I'll probably be a bit quiet while we're here unless something special to report.Read more
