When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Through about another 5 sets of lights, over the bridge then look out for it on ya left
Now hows that for directions!! Looking forward to getting out on some more rides soon
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.
so you did what with sheep?
Can I scream?
