Day 42

Lake Marova to Te Anau 67km

Today I continued to make my way down the back road from Queenstown to Te Anau. A sunny day, downhill with a slight tail wind. Again many kilometers without a single car. Just a few cyclist passing by. All heading going north. Am I the only one heading south?

Anyway the bike was pretty dusty by the time I arrived at the junction with the highway heading to Te Anau. After two days of no cars it was kind of a letdown to be back on a sealed road with fast automobiles wizzing past. However my no suspension 90pound bike seemed happy, and I was very glad to have made it on nearly 80km of sometimes rocky gravel with no flats and an intact suited of spokes.
