Thoughts from Miles on the ferry

Team – we are on the ferry and Picton to night.
Sadly, we made our farwells to Jeremy this afternoon – he is having a day with Christine. It has been an absolute pleasure riding with him.
The landscapes and folk we are meeting are amazing.
One freezing day we knocked on a door asking if we could buy a coffee. We stayed about an hour and they are our new best friends!
Bodies and bikes continue to perform well though yesterday’s 180 km was jolly tiring.
It’s easy to spot the tour riders – sunken eyes, hollow cheeks dirty and smelly !
Be great to begin the south island tho we know there are some hellish hills to come.
It really is the most amazing adventure, mentally and physically and we will bore you for a long time with our exaggerated stories !
All the best to all.
Miles.
