Day 19 Auckland to Wellsford (121 km)

Day 19

Day 19









Into the North!

Our Two day rest was just that. We chilled out at Steve and Heather’s lovely home, shopped a little and watched rugby.  On Friday night, we attended the Mental Health Association cocktail party where each of the riders was presented and their efforts acknowledged.  Chris McKelvie returned from Oz to rejoin the tour.

Today’s ride took us through Auckland slowly with many traffic lights. By we had traveled 35km, when Haze and I were lost. We regathered ourselves and Haze rode alone for the next hour or so while we tried to catch up. Many of the day riders had taken off completely while the rest were also taking wrong turns in a bit of a shambles. Flat tires and other issues kept the Yarris busy all day. The last 40 km or so had some stiff climbing to do.

    Hi Hazel, no 3 try at writing a comment. Tried to phone you several time when we were in Arrowtown but Telstra stuffed things up. How unusual!! Have enjoyed the blogs and feel as though I'm riding along with you - no effort required! Take care, squad is waiting your return.
