Day 22- Ride from Bach to Reefton

We had an early start today rising at about 6.00 am with Chris working hard making cheese scones for breakfast and lighting the pizza oven to ready it for roasting a leg of lamb for dinner.

The cheesy scones hit the spot ahead of our 44 km ride back to Reefton for another round of coffee, hot cross buns and peppermint slice.

The ride into Reefton was very pleasant indeed with an initial climb of 250 metres to the highest point then it was a steady downhill to Reefton!

The weather was ideal with a temperature of 9 degrees at the start of the ride, rising to 21 by the time we arrived at Reefton.

The day looks like being a car ride back to the Bach then lunch and a rest for the day ahead of a roast lamb dinner.

I am doing this blog at about midday so so I can post it before getting out of internet range

I will post any other information relating to the rest of the day on the next blog
