Cycle Touring Adventures

Intense rainbow action cycling through the Manawatu this afternoon. If you look closely enough my crappy Motog has just captured a double rainbow #howareyouwhereareyou #cyclenz #cycletouring #rainbows #doublerainbow (at Rangiotu, New Zealand)

A spot of morning quaxing then a tour of Whanganui's splendour #howareyouwhereareyou #cycletouring #cyclenz (at Virginia Lake Wanganui)

We've arrived in Kiwi Country in day 2 of the comeback tour #howareyouwhereareyou #eketahuna #cycletouring #stravaphoto #cyclenz (at Eketahuna)

We're back on tour and Shelley blasts out of the Summit Tunnel on the Rimutaka Incline Trail #howareyouwhereareyou #rimutakaincline #cycletouring #cyclenz (at Rimutaka Incline)

Today on Global Ride to Work Day I rode to the pie shop to do my job of eating pies. Job done now time to ride home. #ridetoworkday2016 #stravaphoto #unemployed #unemployedlife (at Waikanae, New Zealand)

Ever since I spotted the Sagun Indian restaurant in Gore while on a full stomach, I've been yearning for a provincial curry. Today I sampled one in Picton. #howareyouwhereareyou #cycletouring #stravaphoto #cyclinghome #provincialcurry (at Plaza Indian)

Almost there. Second to last day of cycling on a beautiful day #howareyouwhereareyou #stravaphoto #cycletouring #cyclinghome (at Momorangi Bay)

Riding to a peanut butter factory tour this morning and something shat on my face. Shelley says "don't stop we're late." "I'm sorry Shelley but something just shat on my face." #howareyouwhereareyou #cycletouring #somethingshatonmyface #peanutbutterfactory (at Pic's Peanut Butter)

This is Motueka's famous sandwich known as the Moist Maker. We call it the @brianpnaiman memorial sandwich #howareyouwhereareyou #cycletouring #sandwiches (at Motueka Town)

I'm the big man in North Canterbury #howareyouwhereareyou #cycletouring #biketouring #cyclenz #stravaphoto #cyclinghome (at Hurunui)

Here's my bike outside the setting of New Zealand's most popular painting Cass by Rita Angus #cass #ritaangus #cyclenz #cycletouring #stravaphoto #howareyouwhereareyou (at Cass, New Zealand)

We made it. 15,000 kilometres since we left London just over a year ago. This is riding off Arthur's Pass today and our last #boiledeggmilestones before we hit the Hutt on April 30 but for now: we're coming at you Christchurch #howareyouwhereareyou #cyclenz #cyclinghome #cycletouring #stravaphoto (at Arthur's Pass National Park)

It's sunny in Canterbury but we had to climb a steep mother from the West Coast to get there. Arthur's Pass was truly memorable #howareyouwhereareyou #cyclenz #cycletouring #arthurspass #cyclinghome #stravaphoto (at Arthur's Pass National Park)

A Friday evening bike ride with my love interest around Lake Wanaka #howareyouwhereareyou #cyclenz #stravaphoto #cyclinghome #cycletouring (at Boundary Creek)

What a place for a Marmite sandwich. #howareyouwhereareyou #stravaphoto #cyclinghome #cycletouring #cyclenz #lakehawea (at The Neck)

What better way to celebrate cycling the Crown Range than stopping over at one of New Zealand's most iconic pubs #howareyouwhereareyou #cardrona #cycletouring #cyclenz #cyclinghome (at Cardrona Hotel, NZ)

Our first big road pass ended up being New Zealand's highest #crownrange #cyclenz #cycletouring #stravaphoto #howareyouwhereareyou #cycletouring (at Crown Range Pass)
