Yay: having accommodation last night and not camping in the torrential rain!
Yay: rain surprisingly stopping just as I left for the dawn start (but it did come back in the afternoon)
Yay: great to catch up with Craig N and debrief the Megagrind through a beautiful forested stretch of riding around the mountain.
Yay: kind offer of a shower tonight (am camping) and meeting lots of lovely riders, nice evening in Ohura at Michelle’s gourmet food caravan.
Boo: jury still out on new saddle. Also dropped lip balm some where before Whangamomona.
