Day 14 Back on the road

After resting(i mean riding with the locals in the woods...some of whom had never heard of cyclocross and thought i was just riding a road bike off road!) and riding some of the latest GT bikes out at bluff ......If anyone wants to give me a Carbon Marathon for next year i wont say know. Some very posh kit.

Managed 5k this morning before our first puncture of the trip(Jayne tells me this is your doing Ron ??). Large chuck of glass in my rear tire on a cycle path of all things ...somethings are just like home !

heading out to te anau for the weekend in a two part journey- Invercargill to Tutapere and then on to manapouri/te anau on friday

Sorry about the puncture Terry.Things I suggest might happen seem to happen the next day. So look out for a wad of hundred dollar bills that I see you picking up from the road on the way to Milford Sound.

think we will need those wads of hundred dollar bills for the tours up there ..... there are some very posh ones ...

we are going to go for one of the more modest options though without the champagne and on board helicopter!
