Two days of cycling complete, killer head winds and up hill about sums it up, but at least it is hot and sunny now. According to the plan I should be in Queenstown but a route change and a decision to quit early and camp won out
The roads are nearly devoid of cyclists and traffic pretty civil at least on the side roads I have stuck too do far. That said a kiwi family from Wanake just road up and pitched a tent near mine.
Markova lakes seems pretty popular though they are really cold and I am still trying to man up and go in.
56k tomorrow to Walter peak and then an old steamer to Queenstown.
