What a great ride today, I was on the bike for close to two hours which is the longest ride for me so far by almost double. I had not eaten before going and had half a snack bar I was saving for the end of the ride, so I was pretty knackered by the end.
According to Strava I rode for over 28km, which I almost can’t believe.
It was so great to be by the sea, and I really love the coast track from Eastbourne to Pencarrow Lighthouse.
Sights along the way included Lake Kohangapiripiri, Lake Kohangatera, the wreck of the SS Paiaka, and the stunning light on the sea and land.
Approaching Baring Head from the coast (not the hillside track) was beautiful, I rode until I ran out of road. I could have kept going if I had walked a little further, but I was pretty glad I turned around when I did given how stuffed I was on my return.
