8 February

We went back to where I left off and started again.  It wax odd weather.  Sometimes there was a head wind.  In places there was no wind and in others a tail wind. There would be a warm patch and then it would cool. When I got to Ashurst we stopped for lunch.  I did feel for the farmers along the valley baking in the sun and the rain sweeping across the Ruahine Ranges. So near and yet so far.
At Ashurst I decided to keep riding to Levin where we are going to stay with Ron's cousin Colin and Adrienne. By the time I got there I had completed my first ever 100 km ride and still had 2/5 battery left.
No photos today.  The phone kept rebooting eah time I tried to open the camera app. Most frustrating.
Tomorrow we are resting before returning to Palmerston North and another restart.

  1. Ashurst is great - Des Hunt wrote a young adult book called Project Huia and was based in Ashurst - the boys were amazed when they could identify places in the book when we visited. Did you do the walk in the Gorge - it starts just out of Ashurst beside the Dam Stream Bridge.
