It was a stinking hot afternoon here. We got a lot of rain overnight too. It's been doing that quite a bit over the last couple of weeks and its making everything in the garden grow like mad.
I had to stop on the way home to rest and rehydrate and while I sat there enjoying the view I thought I'd take a photo of my bike.
I have no idea what kind it is because the first thing I did when I bought it was pull all the stickers off. That's the Nelson landmark fifeshire rock in the background. I pedaled 60km today (a little more than usual because I forgot to buy coffee on the way home and had to go back for it).
While I'm on the subject of bikes, a friend and I are in the very early stages of planning a trip. A cycling trip around New Zealands South Island following the coast as closely as possible. The idea started out as a walking trip but we soon realised that we just wouln't have the time, expecailly if we want to get off the beaten track. We intend to take 10-12 weeks to do it so we don't have to hurry and have plenty of time to explore the side roads. We are planning it for early 2007 (if not sooner) so we have time aquire gear, train, plan, and get in a few shorter trips beforehand. So, I'm in the market for some good pannier bags for a good price... like these.
