Default Wind!!

There's only one real problem about living in New Zealand. Wind!! We can ride all year round, but if you live in Wellington you get southerly wind gusting to 120ks (with rain) that's come straight from Antarctica.

After a week of this the daily commute is almost starting to lose it's appeal. Well that feels better. Time for another coffee.

Hi.

Coming to NZ in a few years time with the family and hope to get some biking in on South Island.

Any recommendations or do/do nots?

Cheers.
