The finish of a shitty day cycling in the rain


Day 18 (Dec 20) Taupo to Tirau 99.4km =1689km total

We headed off early afternoon for what we thought would be an easy day. The ride started with passing showers and extreme humidity to torrential rain and constant headwinds. There wasa a lot of steady uphill climbs through forestry area and we were averaging only 10km downhill!!! so it was frustrating for both of us.

We stopped for food in Tokoroa and almost stopped their for the night as we were wet through but in the end pushed through that extra 30km and made it to Tirau.
