      Saturday afternoon ride.

      Lovie Pullar

      Just a group of old and new riders headed out for an afternoon ride. I only had time to complete the first half but what a day to be out on the road. Cruised around at a nice pace enjoying the moment on your bike. Good catch up and enjoyed everyone’s company & I look forward to the next ride.

      Stunner. Bloody windy for a while, but a stop for a pie and a mocha took care of that. Rode past a barn fire. Met a South African on a Himalayan called Paul.

      South Island Trip Day 8

      Lovie Pullar

      Picton to Levin. Our time in the south ended today and what a journey. Definitely going back complete the lower south and revisit parts of this journey for sure. We boarded the ferry early and we sailed 1/2 hr early too, fantastic which meant we went into bike shops to eye up my potential future bike & apparel. I can’t thank my travel companions enough for the opportunity to see the beautiful country we live in and see it together. We parted ways in Paraparaumu where they’re spending time with their friends going to concert. I wish them the bestest weekend and safe travels home. I’m spending my time catching up with friends and meeting cousins for the first time whom are over from America, I’ll stay at Hotel de son ( my sons home) so grateful to be able to do the things that I do, looking forward to my next bike if and when it should take my interest in the meantime I’m going to continue to clock up the kilometres on my lil bike. Have a great day/evening weekend everyone! Ma te wā!

      South Island Trip Day 4 #2

      Lovie Pullar

      First part of journey I ended accidentally so that will be posted as well. How good is Arthur’s Pass? Could’ve easily turned around and done again, spectacular scenery and at the beginning of the day the weather looked dodgy, but as soon as we made our way over to the East it was clearing! Hokitika to Hamner Spring 2 days relaxing and tiki tour about the place. My poor knees need extra padding from the armour as the pressure from constant pressure after hours of riding became quite uncomfortable. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to add protective padding there? Drop a comment.
