Twizel - Tekapo- Geraldine
Another cool morning, a bit more drafting to stay warm and a flat ride past Mt Cook and Pukaki on
the way to lunch at Tekapo. 61kms
There we entertained a bus load of Koreans while we made up our usual filled rolls for lunch. I was
riding with Rex stoking today and Neville had Bob taking him to Tekapo and Dave after lunch.
We biked off for Geraldine negotiating a few good climbs on the way. In the afternoon at the top of
the steepest climb we found a nice cafe. Tea and muffin for me, coffee for some and a well earned
rest for half an hour. Then we had some tandem racing like at wheelers, Dave and Neville versus Rex
and I, it was great fun drafting on each other and flying down Burkes Pass trying to burn each
other off and then finally rolling in to Geraldine at the motor camp.
Travelled 150km. Average Speed 32. Max speed 87km. (drafting and down hill brought that up)
