Took the two Bros's out today. Arrived at Caltex Rimutaka at 10am this morning and decided it was too windy on the hill for me (Chrissie). Decided to go across the Akatarawa Road to Waikanae. There was a bit of tarseal missing here and there at the Upper Hutt end and plenty of rocks on the road through the middle part, misty at the top of the hill, but still quite a good ride. Cyclists for Africa through there. Carried on through to Palmerston up through the Shannon side. Only had rain the last 9k into Palmy.
Had a look about at ANZA and then came back down the main road. Really windy south of Palmy (kept slowing the Bros's motor) and headed back through Opiki and came back down through Shannon.
Went on down through to central Wellington. Played tag with a truck and trailer unit all the way from Otaki to Porirua. Him overtaking us, then us overtaking him all the way! Round trip 300k. Blow dried ourselves on the way home.
