Its been a lovely stay in Gisborne with Ian and Tui after my Parliament Grounds Freedom Village experience, both of us catching “Alphadeltacrom”, recovering and exploring the lower east side of the Wellington coastline such as Cape Palliser, Lake Wairarapa and Masterton. Jude and I have had a lovely time staying with these great mates. Of course because we are jab-free they do tend to call us their leper friends… but amongst friends who cares. These guys are amazing and we really enjoy the banter, beers and the friendship. Now the weather is another story and boy when it rains up here it rains. JudeRead More →

Beautiful colours this morning as we wake and look out the window of our moho. But as we know the old saying “Red sky at night shepherds delight, red sky in the morning shepherds warning”. However just pleased to wake up these days. Hopefully the weather hangs off until we finish our ride to the Coffee Float from Cromwell end this time.Read More →

We awoke to a good frost and fog! Finally at 11am it cleared. Then off on our first bike ride after a long spell off our bikes. Starting at Burtons Creek where we spent the night, our mission was to find the coffee boat! We’d been looking forward to riding this new track and had heard a lot of good comments. After the rubbish weather we have had over the past couple of weeks, it was a good day for riding this track. The track is well groomed and makes its way along the edge of the lake, initially with easy undulations before climbing upRead More →
