Finally made it down to the sea and found a spot to eat our Tricky Sandwiches I brought from Upper Hutt.
Not pictured - shortly after this a freak wave came and knocked both bikes over and scattered our gear. Luckily I was holding the sandwiches, so our lunch was ok. And luckily Matt's e-bike seemed to be ok after being drenched in salt water.
We took our gear and had lunch back a bit further, and no other wave ever came close to where the bikes were originally again...
Not doing any mountain biking during lockdown, but at least I live near some good hill climbs to keep the legs turning!
Did not see a vehicle or person on this road. Scenic and undulating but not major climbs. Need to explore this side of Eketāhuna more.
Mangaoranga Road. Komoot marked it as a 'great gravel road', not disappointed.

Die Farben sind nicht am Computer entstanden sondern durch bunte Beleuchtung der verschiedenen Fahrradteile. Bei dem Bild wurde nur der Ausschnitt verändert und der Kontrast erhöht. Leider ist der HG nicht sehr schön - was denkt ihr? Ein paar Infos zum Bike gibt's hier.
No processing in here. Only cropping and changing contrast - no more. The colors are different lamps shining on the parts of the bike. What do you think about the ugly gackground - I have to change this next time. Check out the specs.

I know it's a busy background but it wasn't warm enough to work with the door open.
I just finished installing dropbars on the n8cycle. The n8cycle is a bitsa built Raleigh Sports 3 speed. Bitsa dis bike, bitsa dat bike built by friend N8 and gifted to me when he moved to New Jersey.
I'm getting it ready for this year's Lake Pepin 3 Speed Tour.
A ride along the river today as you can get to a number of places along here. Always good to get some km in on the gravel bike.
Been a couple of weeks though, and this sign is new.
As much as I try to convince myself that flatbars can work with the right grips and a bit of further provisions like the right innerbar ends and as much as I like my full suspension bike — taking my lovely Canyon Exceed for a (super cold) spin yesterday was an instant eye opener again. After 2 weeks or so exclusively on my flat bar full sus or on the smart trainer the Exceed instantly felt sooo good again! It’s not just the drop bars - although they provide a great deal of familiarity and comfort not only in terms of hands but the whole position on the bike. It’s the whole geometry which makes for such a capable yet still responsive and natural feeling steering without any wheel flop.
Seriously - it’s geometry and handling really is a home run for fast overland XC, marathon and bikepacking as far as I am concerned. Unfortunately, XC mountain bikes are rapidly moving away from it towards trail riding geos (you nearly can’t even call them down country anymore) and gravel bikes are not there yet. Not that all gravel bikes should - but some.
Also after quite some kilometers with the new Sram Red AXS brifters and brakes I’m totally sold. They are no magic bullets in terms of removing all pain points with hydraulic brakes and caliber or rotor misalignments, minuscule tolerances etc. But they improved on every aspect and even with my not that big hands I really like the hood shape. And the braking power is much welcome.

and the handlebar evolution of street Tarcks! Try and tell me the dropbar came before the bullhorn I'll definitely call bullshit.
After locking up I realized the serial on the side of the frame and a quick search told me the exact make and model of my new bike! (as old as me would you believe it!)
