Back on the bike

 A short ride this morning, up to the level crossing in Okoia.



Like many railway crossings in NZ....

No high wire fences.....

I've only seen level crossing gates where the tracks went through the city in Christchurch....

Just a quick leg stretch then down to the Yellow House café to meet those who had started at 7am and 8am....I started just after 9 am....and we all met at about 10am at the café.

Not everyone as one member of the group is a volunteer with the fire service and she was called out on a shout after turning back to home early...she'd had a puncture...lucky for the fire service!

I came back down the river side shared path to see if a friend was selling today at the Riverside Market...she wasn't at her stall.

It was great to see the market in full swing, with a jazz band playing at one end by the tram shed!!

Back for a rest , then out to see others having a session on the track at the velodrome...


And back to do washing and sorting and packing...
