I arrived safely in New Zealand on Wednesday and took full advantage of the Auckland sunshine to rest, recover and top up my suntan
…. Sunday was my first planned ride with MNZ on a local trail in East Auckland, hopefully I’ll be following that up with a road ride round the Hunua ranges before heading off to Wellington to visit Pip by next weekend
Unfortunately Sunday morning was rather damp, MNZ blames CC in Perth for some forum comment about Auckland’s dodgy weather,
We headed out and took some paths over fields that had been cut for hay which was rather bumpy before heading up some nice gravel paths over a local country park before heading down to the beach for a catch of the water and some boats fishing ... then we headed back home about the same time as the sun broke through the clouds
Hopefully my evening road ride will be sunny !
A few piccies of me :
PS - MNZ will post this to my Blog later this evening when she can access it from home
PPS - After Wellington - looks like Pip will send me to Singapore if everyone is ok with that ?
PPPS - MNZ will move to Oahu , Hawaii in March so happy to host me again for a Hawaiin adventure with my other Hawaiian TE host in Maui
