With the exception of Chris who is taking a day off to catch up with his son in Christchurch, we were all ready to rock and roll at 8:30, with a relatively short day ahead.
First leg saw us dive deep into charted territory between Timaru and Fairlie, roads whose “berms” were unmown, providing an almost “tunnel” effect that proved curiously unnerving for one or two. Plenty of tight twisting turns to start the day, too early for some. Breakfast in Fairlie (I am now officially over meat pies and cro Nuts). We decided to add a bit to the ride so off to Methven for yet more coffee, then Nev took over navigation duties and we really went off the beaten track, with my GPS getting very confused. Another day of great riding, great scenery, and great guys with whom to shoot the shit - now showered at the Criterion Motel in Akaroa, about to have a wander around town.
