Cycling in London

Helen and I had a wonderful time in London, and the best way to do it, was by Cycle Tour! Our original Tallyho Cycle Tour let us down at the last minute, but http://www.biketoursoflondon.com/ came to the party and took us on for the next day. The weather was fine, the rides felt safe, and we were taken to parts of London we would never have found on our own.

Onehunga, Mangere Bridge circuit

Great day to get back on the bike for a decent cycle. Took a while negotiating the many roadworks between here at Te Atatu and Onehunga, in the car, but when we got there and dismantled the bikes, it was worth it.





Aint nothing like a guilt-free pie at the end of a good cycle trip.

Cycling the new motorway from Brigham's Creek, Whenuapai

Had a cycle on the new motorway, in pristine black condition, before the wear and tear got to it. Very pleasant hanging out with so many cyclists of every variety and size.

London and Paris in October


Helen and I are off for a few weeks to UK this October. We've found the perfect way to do London, and intend a bit of a peddle around Paris as well.
Very excited at the prospect.

Another winter ride to Henderson and Lincoln Road and back

Helen and I took a ride along this cycleway again last weekend. The first great weather on a weekend in a while. HAD to get the wheels out and give it a go.

Helen's new bike


Helen has picked up a rather stylish bike off TradeMe which she has cleaned up and added accoutrements to.
Nice to have a choice of bike to pick when setting off on an adventure.

Solo ride to Ponsonby Rd and NOSH and back via Rosebank Road

Gorgeous weather these days for a cycle any time of the day. Still mornings, blue skies, water like a mill pond. I went from Te Atatu in to Ponsonby Road today, and ambled along, stopping at Il Forno for a coffee and Italian doughnut. Then along to NOSH for a few things to take to dinner party tonight. On the way home I detoured up Rosebank Road and had lunch at Kreme, before coming on home.
