Today was supposed to be an easy 40 km ride finishing off the lakes and riding the trail to Duntroon, but after leaving Kurow, we discovered that my bike had at least 4 broken spokes! It has been very rocky, and at times unstable terrain with big bumps and I guess on a fully loaded bike it has been a strain on the spokes. Still… A bit of a concern. So I had to nurse my bike over the bumps today, and wade the river crossings while Stu flew over them like a pro!
Here’s a photo of Stu pumping up the tires at the beginning of the day (Fisherman’s Bend) and one of the many dams we passed-Waitaki Dam this time
