Rode 34.7 miles yesterday (OK, 35 miles).
LATER Did some more cycling locally this morning - agreed that for a VACATION, when you want to RELAX and ENJOY yourself, puffing up endless hills does not make it.
First we toyed with the idea of getting a motorcycle; now, after perusing want ads in the Aukland Herald in an Orewa pub (where we chatted with a couple of very friendly old locals, full of advice!) we began to contemplate the notion of buying a cheap car. Jim is in the Orewa car dealership (one of them) making a call now - they were also helpful about answering our questions - even have a Vauxhall we could get MAYBE for $2000.
