I've been a bit silent here (again). Not a lot of riding has been happening, as I continue to work through the issues with my back and hip. Needless to say, I won't have the pleasure of riding myself to smithereens on the Longest Day Ride this year. This is an account of the ride I did last year as published in Journey Vol.3. For a blow-by-blow account with photos, go here.
Long Hot Summer
My ride was a loop of the Waikato, a 200 kilometre
amble through the countryside on nicely undulating roads, avoiding as much
traffic as possible and stopping at rural cafés along the way. I had
successfully lured two long-term cycling friends, Megan and Michelle, along to
accompany me on the Longest Day Ride.
