Stunning Day for a Ride

Well I looked out the window at 11am and said to myself, what a bonza of a day, and thought, lets get in a quickie. Wainui Hill Summit is the plan.
Pumped the tires 95psi, inserted 3/4 full water bottle, suited up, rolled the bike onto the street, reset the bike computer 0km, switch phone to data only, open HuaweiHealthApp on the Samsung Galaxy 33 5G, ensure cycling selected, pressed start record, "Let's Go!"

As soon as I looked out from the top of the summit, across the Wellington Harbour I knew I had to go a decent distance. I turned around and headed to another typical destination, Remutaka Forest Park.

I was surprised how many families were out here taking advantage of not only this spectacular weather, but the free Sheltered BBQ stations. It's currently winter here so understandably no swimmers, but I had to take this quick photo before anyone walked across the shot.
This is one of my most recent enjoyable rides.

That's a nice distance for a midweek ride.

That outing seems to have been truly refreshing for you. I’m considering heading off somewhere this weekend (a long ride), let’s see if I can make it happen. I really like the covers you’ve been creating.
