Day 14 – Final Alps to Ocean day. We arrive at the coast

This morning I had to get my bike from Duntroon to Oamaru for a spoke repair and back, so that we could hopefully continue the final Alps to Ocean section. Steve (the caretaker of the Duntroon domain campsite) very generously put my bike on the back of his Ute and took me to the bike shop while he did his weekly shopping in town. Phew, it all went smoothly, spokes repaired, and with a few spares, we took off for the final leg of the Alps to Ocean by 1 pm. It has been another spectacular day-winding thru the limestone Elephant Rocks, serene green well irrigated farmland, and finally we spotted the sea!
