Another night on the Taihape Napier Rd.,
Hawkes Bay District, NZ
Whew! Lots of up ups and down downs downs through the Keweka Forest. Spectacular!
Met Adam
a Canadian from Nova Scotia here for 4 months riding his aunt's bike that he's rebuilding piece by piece.
And Norm
a hunting and fishing guide who stopped me to take my picture because "cyclists never do this road!"
I like taking people's pictures but I do it too fast and with the iPhone I can't adjust the exposure. Now I have to take good pictures of people:). Yes he was standing up on a bank.
My first LOL (literally) was when I had told myself at lunch I needed water before I stopped for the night...but I wasn't sure where I would find it in this forest. Could be a problem, I think. Pedal on, pedal on. Up and down. And what pops up right in front of my eyes?!
Really Universe??? Just like that you give me what I need? Is it that easy? I was rolling on the road over the hilarity of it. Hehehe!!!
Ok, 2nd LOL. I'm flying down one of the many downhills I had. This one was not tight and windy but open so I could let her rip a bit more...and what was that??? Did I just take out a bird???? I think it went under the bike, not flying and not on the road. Too fast to look back. I was laughing so hard I almost wet my pants:))). That was a first!!!
And tonight I'm camped in a Y in the road. Couple of houses and a daycare center here. And a lovely wide patch of "no man's land" where I like to camp.
Giggly BagLady had a fun day:)
