In the beginning... There was an exercycle....
Yes, I know, it's been a while.... My cycle told me off tonight too, well, my bottom feels like it's been well spanked, so I guess that must be the bike getting it's own back.
Actually, I've been knocked around a bit by the first round of early winter bugs to hit town. A weekend in Auckland didn't help much (late nights, bad sleep, etc), so I got home, apologised to my cycle and crawled into "repair" mode for a week to get back on top of the bugs.
Today I felt enthusiastic enough to "get back in the saddle" so to speak. So I did. Was pleasantly surprised with my results. I managed a respectable 25.73 km tonight. Which, considering I've had a fortnight off, I think is pretty good. My total distance so far is 2551.05 km.
This has put me just outside of New Plymouth. It really is kind of a funky wee place! With Mt Taranaki looming over it, and a bustling port, this area is steeped in Maori history, something the locals seem to be pretty proud of. There's even this really funky bridge!!
