Kindness and I are powering through the Crown Range to Queenstown. A serious sufferfest.
That was one helluva climb, especially the last 3 km. A hot day and a fully loaded tandem made it a real challenge, but we made it to the summit without stalling or stopping.
Cardrona Hotel to Small Planet Sports in 1 hr 35 min. Russ and I nailed the toughest section of the entire trip. Cheers, mate!
Summer is finally here in middle earth. Diving into chilly lakes is the only way to instantly cool down and wash off the sweat and grit after a long, hilly, sweaty day on the open road.
