We managed to ride the road past the racecourse..and find yet another cafe with cyclists in it! mountain bikers this time, although the cafe is on the flatlands it isn't far from some gnarly trails. We did 60km which is gradually stretching my range..some sometI really need to do if I'm looking ahead to some gentle touring days.....but the last 10km was a bit hard even on the flat!
I found why I wake to the sound of bees every fine morning.
This is our bedroom window.
This morning, a fresh new year is starting cool and a little damp.
Time to finish off the gardening jobs we have started ready for our friend's return .
We should be moving on in two day's time, hopefully seeing some of the West Coast before staying in Blenheim for a week or so.

Happy New Year to you !
Thanks for bringing in the New Year way ahead of us. I hope 2019 is great for you and the Pirate.
You, obviously, have the trip well planned. Happy New Year.
Well, I hope the West Coast manages some dry weather for you. We have travelled along it twice - both times it poured all day!

Happy New Year to you and Vic.
A slightly cool and damp start to New Year is probably rather welcome after the decidedly scorching hot days that we have had recently. Well done with the steady build up of kms on the bikes. It must give quite a sense of achievement to get from place to place under your own steam and to feel stronger and fitter. And you can have the joy of being "off the grid" when riding a real bicycle rather than the increasingly popular electric ones that are appearing everywhere now! Whilst others have to plug into the mains, you can be powered with pizzas!!
Thinking of you both.
Peter and Laura
you did 60ks? I'm tired just reading about that.
