Once

Jordan has decided to ride the country with only two gears.

After the early KOM this morning leaving Kaikura towards Christchurch, she merged with the DMac Express and we beat feet towards Cheviot. Sadly, DMac bid us farewell (man you are a pulling machine), along with Mair, Kay, and Al (may you go north with the wind behind you). Mair and Kay were awesome and I will never forget their efforts to get us to Bluff.

Back to the singlespeeder in training story ... we are zooming south on the Oh Lordy Here We Come train and on a small riser Jordan's right shifter goes south again. She is beyond belief, but after setting her up in a medium gear we make our way to lunch and then on to tonight's lodging.

The mechanic found the original cable head lodged in the shifter mechanism from a few days back! Now she is all set with a new shifter.

Fitness:
5km run to a from the Kaikura pool
3km wetsuit swim (snow capped mountains in the offing)
180km ride

Date night out in Christchurch.
