Pirate then started back by bike to see how far he would get.
The answer? In a hot headwind ride, when a lot of the downriver road goes up..35 km, and very well done.
We saw some local traffic (!) lots of horses, some sheep and a brown goat!! Lunch stop was at the Matahiwi gallery cafe, that we had visited on a ride in 2013. We found that that was just after the owner had opened!
We saw a worrying looking fire up on the top of the other side of the river, and apparently this has re-ignited after a week..not good.
Now we are back, the washing is dry, Pirate is showered and resting. Tomorrow we join in the fun of the Whanganui Vintage weekend!!

I hope they have got that fire out.
Congrats to your spouse on his ride...and thanks for the wonderful pics along the way. A beautiful terrain.

Good to see the old boy still out on the bike and why not in such a lovely place.
He did well with the bike ride in this heat, is there a fire ban down there too?
He did a lot better on his ride than I ever would have.
