Going hilly

Today we went over to a friend's house in Picton and started our ride from there.
It was a beautiful day when we started from Blenheim but in Picton it was cold and windy..had we worn enough layers? A tailwind up the first hill helped, round the first corner and we were in sunshine again! The summit of the first hill is called The Wedge..and you climb from sea level by the Bluebridge ferry terminal to 150 metres...then around several bays, up and down, to coffee at Momorangi. A welcome stop but straight back uphill on return!!
I managed it, carrying on steadily as others stopped to photograph the view.. and didn't walk up any hills, thankfully.
A chilly headwind back down into Picton was welcome as a brake on the downhill speed before another coffee stop (no cake this time) and drive back to Blenheim.
Now we are doing the washing and packing the car ready for a bright and early start tomorrow.
