Yay: Te mata peak just after dawn was pretty cool. Brent C came to ride with me near Napier for a bit, awesome surprise! Last part of day I enjoyed, feeling stronger. Also appreciating in retrospect that yesterday I felt really good all day! Kindnesses: people gave us some water (after we had crawled under electric fence to filter from a stock pond); neighbours camping at beach invited us to their fire.
Boo:11am to about 3pm was tough, hot and a giant gravel hill, it felt like a struggle. Guy’s chain was playing up but he did get it fixed. Guy’s knee is playing up and he might pull out.
