It's not clear how the rural boundaries are arranged hereabouts, but it's been a beautiful rural ride for 2 days. Warm then hot weather, rolling pastureland, shearing sheds dotted here and there. It's so quiet you can hear the cows "comment" on the approach of the lone cyclist. Sometimes bellows, sometimes a gallop away from the fence, usually just the silent stares from a dozen or so animals.
The creeks are lined with treeferns and manuka, and here the trills and songs of the native birds are at their best.
Very pretty, lots of rollers, an occasional climb to walk up,then long thrilling (sometimes too thrilling) descents.
Really nice to have some summer weather again.
