Cyclery Raglan

It has been a while since we had a new Surly in the house.
Introducing the new Straggler.
Room for 700x50 tyres.
Simplicity with a modern twist.
You can never go wrong.

Bit of a different experience for a boy from the regions.
Triple Peaks Urban Challenge.
45km loop linking Mt Eden (highest),
One Tree Hill (most iconic) and Mt Wellington (steepest).
Surprisingly reasonable quiet riding except for 5km of hell on Mt Wellington Panmure highway.
Only ride this on a Sunday morning.

2 of my bikepacking rental stallions making their way south along the popular TA route.
Another one starts next week.
Looks like the initiative is gaining momentum.

Highly enjoyable day 3 of riding on Banks Peninsula.
The Bastard was not so badass and Summit Road on the Port Hills is pure bliss.
Another great ride in my history book.
On to the next one.

Definitely made a bigger effort today.
Leaving Akaroa, around the harbour and climbing Bossu Rd to
Saddle Hill Reserve (790m altitude).
Then a sweet 10km descent to Little River.
Staying at the quirky Little River Silos. Highly recommend.
Final day tomorrow, flat start and then...The Bastard.

4 day escape from Raglan to Banks Peninsula.
Shortish day 1 of riding because of the looming storms on the exposed eastern side of the Peninsula. After all, it's supposed to be a holiday, not a boot camp.
First time ever visit to Diamond Harbour CBD.
Will do a bigger effort tomorrow leaving Akaroa for Little River.
