Drying our socks and Warming up by the fire in Kingston at the vintage railway while we ate some nachos
Thanks to the guys at the Speights Ale House. After our meal we were still starving and they hooked us up with bunch more pasta to refuel us
HUGE THANKS to Base Backpackers, these guys rock, they've hooked us and other cyclists with free accomodation to support our causes!
And we gotta add, that accomodation aint bad either - id stay there over YHA any day!
Day 3 (Dec4) Near Athol to Queenstown 97.7km =286km total
Woke up to heavy rain and wind this morning and jumped on our bikes to be hailed on.
Andriy had some problems with his bike today with the first flat tyre (he was stoked) and his brakes keep jamming and his gear were j on so riding twice as hard as me.
The other team of cyclists who did our mission the other way round (downhill from Cape to Bluff) stopped and filled our bags with powerbars and gels to keep us going. Thanks to them!
It was anamazing ride around lake Waitapu today. Awesome views of the mountains and of the spring with millions of sheep (we must have seen 300,000 sheep today) and spring foxglove and wildflowers everywhere.
