    Lovely biking weather in the mainland

    Lovely cold air with endless sunshine after the south westly has blown thru.

    Time out on the mainland

    Thanks very much! I've got envious droolings all over my keyboard now, it's going to be a bugger to clean.

    Really thoughtful of you . . .

    Ice! This time of the year.

    There's nothing like those Sth island roads. Good to see you smiling Felix. How can you not when riding around those lakes.

    My turn in a few days. Time to test the 675s touring ability...not flash I suspect.

    The last one would have to be close to Cromwell that's for sure! Have a look at the attachment.

    The Yellow lines is Cromwell and the White are Lake Hawea...

    Edit: And that's some awesome photos! I should go for a nice ride this weekend - but I'm tempted to spend my Saturday yachting from Lyttleton to Port Levy Might sneak in some riding before we leave though...
    I like it where you give the cyclist the learn.

    The Lake Tekapo one is just magic...very envious of you guys!

    Looks great Felix. I was down that way this time last year and had a great time riding through those roads. Did you go to the Burt Munro rally?
