Good: Misty, calm early morning along the (pinch climbs) of the Waikato river trail. Better with fresh legs! Zigzags better than I’d imagined. Lunch in Tokoroa that wasn’t an OSM. Erik bearing lollies on the Mamaku hill. Zooming into Rotorua!
Bad: Almond OSM for breakfast. By FAR the worst flavour.
Ugly: Those sweat marks on my riding top are not improving over time.
Songs: After Tokoroa, Wonderland came back on endless repeat.
Yay under five days, seemed like an impossible goal but we did it! Ended up riding with Brent P the whole way and we generally kept pace with the more experienced riders which was awesome 🙂
Might do a proper write up when I’ve recovered. No time for TA style blogging on this event!
