Just a note to whomever has been following this blog that I've uploaded pictures from March 6th. This was a van-train-van-bike day. Beautiful weather, and a great ride on both the railroad and the Otago Rail Trail. As in the case of all first day rides, the part of the anatomy in contact with the saddle gets mighty sore! Especially in this case as the rail trail is more bumpy than what we normally have here in the states. A LOT more bumpy. In fact, I wore out a pair of bike gloves this first day!! That may have been partly due to the ancient age of the gloves, however. But regardless, it was more than worth it. The broad vistas, the tunnels, the scenery near the trail, and the sharing of the adventure with friends and family are indelibly printed in my mind. Hard to beat it, but this is just the first day of riding. More is to come, and each one is different and sometimes more exciting than the one before.
I want to give credit again to Pat and Simon for many of these pictures that I just uploaded. We all took pictures throughout the day, and often the only way I can tell who took them was by the file number. I do appreciate it!
