I have no pictures to show; only words. Right now back home everyone will be finishing their dinner and getting ready for bed. Spare a thought for we face today a 117km ride from Fox Glacier to Haast on the West Coast of the South Island in the pouring rain. We arrived yesterday just after noon and since then all it has done it rain. We had a similar fate on our way into Franz Josef glacier a few days ago during a 110km ride in the rain. Everything was wet, wet to the bone.
They say that this region gets 5-6 metres of rainfall a year, sometimes as much as 200mm of rain overnight. I can believe it.
My only solace lies in the fact that Baz will probably do more than his fair share at the front as usual. I think if it was up to him life would be one big steep climb with just a few short sharp descents every now again to keep interest; just as long as he was on his way up in the long run. For some reason that gives me hope, that today can only make us stronger.
Sweet as!
