And the wind continues

With riders spread out over almost 500kms it was surprising to see the wind feature for everyone.

Not quite in Alexandra- but near enough. Got invited to stay in a house and given fresh apricots and cherries!- how could we resist

Debbie and Emma enjoy some the local produce in Alex. Did they really just find it sitting on the side of the road? — with Emma Lee Tait McCosh at Alexandra Township, Central Otago.

Arrived Alexandra.
What an experience, that beech forest is beautiful and the wind along the tops was epic.
I wish I hadn't followed the sign that said "Alexandra 27ks" I might have gotten here before the golden cobweb had closed.
Having fun riding bikes
