Ridden = 62 miles, 100 km, Elevation = 1837
Combination of two ridses, one from Mt. Cook to Twizel and then all in the van to Takepo for lunch and then on the bikes to Fairley.
It was difficult leaving Mt. Cook as the sun was shining and it was splendid in the sunrise.
We rode back the way we came and I could continually see the mountains in my rear view mirror. Here is Henry, Ute and me (look closely in the lower left corner) as we rode up to Peter's lookout.
From there we rode to Fairley where we had time for a flat white and and a sweet treat at the local bakery. Not much was open as most stores close on both Saturday and Sunday in this small town.
and then we drove to our farm stay at the wonderful home of Michael and Jane.
Their home is made from an old school house they had moved from town. It has been all refurbished and is lovely. Talk about your fixer-upper!
Here's Christopher feeding the sheep, including Polly, the kind and friendly rescue sheep.
New farm arrivals
Dinner was delicious with vegetables straight from the garden.
Jane displays her home made Pavlova - OMG! Yes, it was as good as it looks!
Tomorrow is our last ride day - back to Christ Church.
