I could mention the 6 corners in the 160km between Chch and Timaru. Or the fact that I incurred my first injury of the tour: While making a toilet stop I put a crick in my neck whilst glancing over my shoulder looking for the 2nd bunch.
Or the transfer bus overheating and blowing water through the dashboard. Or even the joy of seeing my wife and kids in Timaru for the first time in ages.
But no, none of these come close to the epic display of two of the core riders, Andrew H, and Stephen L, who elected to ride through, bypassing Timaru for Twizel. Instead of the jolly (boring) 160km ride, they undertook a 280km monster over Burkes Pass.
Which brings us neatly to tomorrow’s ride – a mere 195km over the Lindis Pass and the Crown Range. Looks like we could have some weather fun too. A fast moving low has weather warnings for heavy rain over the region. We’ll we see what tomorrow brings then – I can’t wait, it’s better than Xmas.
