Sunday, March 2
First ride day. Invercargill to Tuatapere (travelling east toward Fiordland). WIND. Let me elaborate...BIG, BAD, VICIOUS, NON-FOSSIL-FUEL-BURNING HATING WIND. I was grateful that we were travelling such desolate roads because the gusts would throw us out into the lanes of traffic with no warning 
(especially me -- being the lightweight of the group). The day was very much a blur -- all efforts focused on the road.
