Day 18 - March 5th, 2010

Oamuru-Geraldine

Ride Time: 5.5
Distance: 128km

- Day didn't start off too promising as I slept through the alarm and awoke to rainy conditions
- Ended up drying off nicely and the day I dreaded riding up #1 turned out pretty good as there was a slight tailwind and the traffic was headed in the opposite direction
- Highest avg of the trip for this sort of distance came in at a whopping 23.3km/hr!
- Before you scoff at that lowly benchmark consider fat ass tires and 50lbs of gear I'm hauling along the way ...
- Transfer day is done and I'll soon be heading back into the mountains with a rest day or 2 planned for Kaikoura
- Overall, Geraldine is one of my favorite little towns of the trip
