Yay, after months of preparation and being stuck in the loft endlessly packing my life away, I've finally relocated to New Zealand! My two favourite bikes are now safely here with me and I'm slowly starting to get to grips with cycling in a completely new country/time zone/season (went from Summer to the middle of Winter in a matter of days!).
Really looking forward to reading through the posts (got my internet connected today!) - though sad that my fitness has completely disappeared after 6 weeks of relatively total inactivity (cycling-wise).
The hills here where I live are PHENOMENAL, so I think it's going to take me several weeks to build up to the double chainring on my road bike! Also have to adjust to the monsoon-type rain they get over here, but I'm just so thrilled to be back on track again - and hopefully I'll be back to full par by the summer (blowing my mind that it'll be in December!).
Just wanted to say hello to everyone again, and to reintroduce myself to the board, after such a long absence!

Welcome back SnappyPix!
Let us know about the routes down there. I just read about cycling trips to New Zealand and started pondering about going sometime this Winter (your summer)... I'm excited at the idea of having a reporter on the front line.

Welcome back SnappyPix!
Can't wait to have you post your cycling adventures! You'll be my 'happy place' when I'm on the trainer in January looking at a couple feet of snow and temps hovering around zero ... summer in New Zealand sounds awesome.On Yer Bike!

Lots of luck in your new location. I guess you are in Lord of the Rings country. I think that is so cool as my husband and I just love all three of the movies.
When we get back into winter you will be out of it. Have fun getting back into your cycling mode.
