Day 97

In the beginning.... there was an Exercycle....

Today sees me camping at the Waverley Racecourse. Waverley? You ask? Where the heck is Waverley? Well, it's approximately 26.82 km from where I started today and around 2,399.49 km from where I started in Christchurch.... Or at least it is if you take the scenic route, as I have.

I am well pleased with my efforts tonight. I have improved on my distances a little every session this week, and have managed a "bonus" ride over the last week. I'm finding that I am starting to feel like there's something missing in my day if I don't either cycle or go for a good walk.

And now, to where I'm stopped tonight... Waverley. If you check out wonderful Google, Waverley is quite the happening place. There is plenty of wild-food gathering opportunities, a couple of motorsport events, and then there are all the other rural attractions that are such a cornerstone of life anywhere in New Zealand. Heck I bet they've even got a couple of real local characters about hanging out in a bar somewhere.... Think I might go and see if I can shout one or two of them a "lemonade"....
