Today was a big day, we rode from Takaka to Murchison which is stunning, the weather gods played ball + the sun was out, no rain.
180 km with almost 2k climbing.
Im too tired to write too much tonight, so just check out the pics and have noted a few bullet points of random musings :-
- climb from Takaka side of Takaka Hill was not as bad as anticipated. Better than the Bastard (( local Chch climb)
- I know why its called Hope Saddle....
- I was literally and figuratively 3rd wheel as Graham towed myself and Laurence home from the top of Hope Saddle
- Dinner at the Commercial was ready as soon as we got there and the beer was cold
- and they had soft cushioned seats, much to everyone's delight- glad was not just me with a sore bum!!
- Thanks to Darryn for sorting my cleat , shim removed so hoping can get both sit bones on the saddle tomorrw.
