Toru de Waikato - Ride 1: Karioi

I was pretty nervous about riding around Mt Karioi near Raglan. I don't know why - it's only 45km or so of hilly gravel roads and there's really nothing to be nervous about. But I guess my lack of riding, below average fitness, and a bit of an iffy feeling all week had me doubting my abilities.

Nothing much

In the last couple of months nothing much has passed under my wheels. My bikes have hung in the garage, caked in mud and grime, cobwebs and dust. Life has been moving on. The kids have been growing bigger, faster, louder. My Aunty passed away after a brief battle with cancer. She is dearly loved and sadly missed, definitely not forgotten. I have been busy doing "nothing much". Just life, rolling on. I have been on a handful of rides, all of which I enjoyed immensely.
