A ride..with mountains

 Typical!..I do the usual....and blogger decided to put the photos in reverse!

Taranaki in view
Love it!
Bus stop...drink and eat before returning 


♥️ The same age as me...and in better condition!!


Look at the postbox....

I haven't been up either tower..

Pirate took my camera up this one years ago!








Not for bikes!...not the stairs!! But there is a stairs competition in the Masters Games....

This is why I took the elevator.....and I should have taken it down as well as up! I'm not good at downhill either!!


Anyway, I did 32km...20 miles..with camera stops, mainly on the way out. It's the most I've ridden in two years....and it's great to get back to it!.... But I did have a good afternoon nap, before walking to the velodrome to see friends then going to the quiz at Stellar...as d our team was second for the second week running!

Gorgeous views. Plenty of interesting things to see on your trek out it seems. I expect you needed that nap!

...you can cut and patch them where you want them.

Looks like an entertaining ride with lots to see along the way.

Debby said...

20 miles?!!! Well, ma'am, I respectfully disagree. That car is not in better shape than you! It seems like you're in excellent shape. You go, girl. You love NZ so much. Are you considering relocating?

20 miles! Congratulations. Laughed at "1 Hectare (More or Less)"

Great ride, good weather for it. Interesting about the elevator. I need to get put more and visit stuff. Bike rides these days seem to be either round the yard testing stuff or into town and back for business.

I'm impressed! 20 miles is a very good bike ride. Game night at the pub also sounds like fun and your team is doing well. You'll miss NZ when returning home.

Nice view of the area.

You find the art and design where ever you go! The older car is beautiful still, but must have had a few replacement parts by now. So 20 miles, eh? Up and down again...with stops for post boxes at least! Great going!

I loved that Citroen but there were many other sights on your bicycle trek to equal it.

What an interesting area. 20 miles is quite an achievement. Looks like you're having a great time.
