I planned a day off at national park but no wifi and i needed to update the blog and fix two client’s website. Checked the closest library. And start to ride under the pourring rain. Everyone at the hostel can’t believe that I was leaving with this weather. But the rain doesn’t really matter as I have good Montane gear from my sponsor Further Faster and can stay pretty much dry whenever.
I love the look of the hills here
What matters is the wind but today there wasn’t any. After 40km mostly slopes. Good feeling after those two days of climbing! I reached the library where i updated my blog. As soon as i saw the sun coming out of the clouds i removed my socks and shoes and let them out with my bicycle to let them dry. Awesome! After 2 hours socks and shoes were totally dry! So happy. It’s a small thing but it’s important to have dry stuffs. I contacted Jessy from CouchSurfing to know if i could stay for the night but when i realised that it was a detour of more than 45km I canceled. She understood and has been really nice as she offered to come pick me up in town but as I don’t use engines, tonight I’ll sleep on a rest area by the road. 20 more km to go. My tent is still totally wet but I’m so tired that i don’t really mind sleeping in a wet tent.
Even my camera is wet and foggy
It’s now 7.30pm and I’m gonna sleep so tomorrow I can wake up at 5 and cycle all day. Target 95 to 110km. Looking forward to be in Raglan and chill out for a couple of days. I hope I won’t be bothered tonight as it’s Friday night and I’m still close to big enough city.
