    Did the Dyer's to Evan's part of summit road this afternoon and not a piece of grit to be found!

    It was funtastic.

    One thing to watch out for is rogue sheep. One section in particular was so incredibly awkward.

    I was just riding at a nice and cruisy pace, admiring the road an all, and I spot a few bits of crap on the road.
    "Aha!" thinks I. "I will avoid these with care".

    So I keep riding, and I spot a few sheep on the side of the road. I of course do the manly thing to do, and I pull over and take a photo of my bike next to the sheep with my phone.
    Because that lamb was oh my god so incredibly cute/delicious.

    Anyway, once again I start off, and continue on.

    Then I notice these small white patches among the tussock.
    And holy shit.

    THE HILLS HAVE EYES.

    I had unknowingly ridden into sheep territory, and they look pissed.
    Think skinny white ginga teenager (aka me) walking into Wanganui. Waving a banner supporting the patch ban. Dressed in pink.
    Many of them are on the road, clearly attempting to ruse me into stopping for just a second. I narrowly miss a small lamb. I keep riding, hoping, PRAYING to get to a cattle stop.

    As you can see, I made it. But it was close.
    So just watch out for sheep on the Summit road, k?
    They mean business.

    The traditional "Here kitty kitty!" hunting method.
