Day 16:  Whanganui - Rest Day

Explore the art walks and galleries around Whanganui, or maybe it's time your bike got some love with a local mechanic.

Pretty quiet rest day for me.  Thanks, Jane, for doing a bit of laundry for me.  Then out for a walk along the river.  I didn't get all the way to the sea, but did what my hips were ok with.  Saw the paddle steamer all loaded up and ready to go.  


Popped into the visitor centre where they had a great 3D model of the territory we've been in the last few days.  I'm putting these pics in here as a reminder to me, although they won't mean much to anyone else.






The last one caught my interest because where the road goes away from river (near the centre of the picture) it becomes obvious why we had a bit of a climb there.  

Then a quick visit to one of the art galleries, a short shopping excursion, wandered up main street, picked up lunch and back to the motel for rest, some reading, some physio and some more laundry.  I went to a movie (My Old School) and then out for a bit of Mexican food.  There went the day.  Back on the bikes tomorrow!

    Joe and I love 3D models. We always gravitate to them whenever we see them -- they give so much context to what you are traversing!

    Take care of your cold and your hips... Hope you're feeling better soon!!

Day 1:  Arrive in Pukenui Arrive in Pukenui.  Transport from Auckland to Kaitaia is available with Tua Tahi Shuttles, Intercity Coachlines and Barrier Air.  Meet with your tour leaders and fellow bikers at 5pm for your pre-departure meeting and first meal together.   I was a little bit discouraged by the rain yesterday, so thought I would check the forecast.  Tropical cyclone Hale is in the area, but hopefully will be at its worst to the south and east of here.  Although the morning started out quite cloudy the sun did break through and with any luck we won't have to start the cycling tomorrow in a cyclone! What I did wake up to this morning was this............. ...... outside my motel room door.  I guess I'm in the right place.  Turns out a few more people have opted to rent bikes and they have a few spares, so they arrived with a fairly full trailer.  The tandem on top is an e-tandem that a couple from the UK have rented.  The Es...

Well, it's time to start packing my bags again.  Headed for New Zealand this time, and biking something called the Tour Aotearoa.  I believe the official Tour Aotearoa is a full-on mountain biking/bike packing route but I'm not that tough.  I have found a NZ company, Escape Adventures NZ, that does a fully supported version of the ride.  While the recommended bike to use is a hard-tail mountain bike, we'll be on "sealed" roads 58% of the time.  The remainder will be 18% quiet gravel roads, 22% cycle trails, and a bit of beach-riding plus one section (that I know of) of what sounds like single-track.  I'll be renting a bike from the tour company.  Apparently they have been kind enough to switch the brakes for me since (along with cars driving on the opposite side of the road to North Americans) their bike brake levers are generally on opposite sides to ours.  The route is 3000 km.  We will cycle this over 34 days, so an average of about 90 km ...

Day 23:  Picton - Havelock We get our wheels turning on the stunning Queen Charlotte drive.  A shorter riding day offers us time to explore the coastal settlements along the way. This was a pretty gentle introduction to the South Island.  Not stellar weather, but at least the clouds were a little higher than they were yesterday.  Only 35 km total today, so we left an hour later than usual.  Still got in earlier than the hotel was expecting us.   Of course we started climbing almost immediately, although it was quite gentle and not too much at any one time.  We followed the shoreline along Queen Charlotte Drive almost the entire way.  Lovely vistas out to the water.......... Coming out of Picton.  The ferry is just coming in.  They must have a really good backup camera on that thing! I think I had a picture taken at this same lookout 17 years ago.  I'll have to look for it when I get home. We passed a bay with this big lumber ya...
