I went for a bit of a training ride on my bike today. From my place in Teal Valley, up to the top of the valley, over the Teal Saddle and down into the Matai Valley, following the Maitai River all the way into Nelson. A distance of about 33km each way. My legs remind me everytime I stand up suddenly just how steep some of those hills are. I just thought I'd post a couple of shots I took along the way today. The first is an old truck parked in the bushes that I just caught a glimpse of as I rode by. The second is a field of foxgloves (at least I think thats what they are) all standing to attention for the passing cyclist/photographer.
Oh... and one more just for Briggsy.
