Putting the bike miles in

[DR] Another great day in Wellington. Needing some bike miles we headed
out on the Big Coast circuit. From Petone, south round the coast to the
Wairarapa. A road section from the Wharekahu alongside Lake Wairarapa
to the Rimutuka Incline, over the incline and through Tunnel Gully to
the Hutt Valley, and down the berms back to Petone. Sounds a straight
forward 130km ride. Just to spice it up we invited Barryn, Trevor and
Samara - you know, just to keep the pace honest! The pace line got a
little streched at times but there were moments of respite, like when
Jerome broke his bike just avoid going any further, and the coke stop in
Upper Hutt. It was the best conditions any of us can remember for the
trip which normally involves cold, wind and rain. There was a 30km head
wind up the Wairarapa but that was generated by Barryn and Trevor. The
section from the Orongorongo River to Wharekahu is in good condition and
mostly rideable except for the soft sand.

AND we got back in time for the rugby. It was a great night in
Wellington to be Tongan.
Colin was home alone with whiskey and ipad for England Scotland game.
The updates dried up after 60 mins but we think he is ok.
