Good: (surprisingly) ride into Big River as the light faded. Completed another big day! Less queasy in heat than yesterday. Mariua saddle lovely.
Bad: hot hot hot again. Horrible gravel road to start of Big River track with toasted legs. Also Rahu saddle – too hot, headwind.
Song: It’s my life by Bon Jovi. Uncool but surprisingly motivational.
Waiuta postscript: abysmal night’s sleep esp after realising have got a saddle sore. But great ride through to here, much more riding than last time 🙂
