Well I've finally got around to putting the pics from our Christmas cycling trip up on our picasa album! Here we are setting out from Christchurch on our first day - in the rain! This was a 12 day trip that headed South from Christchurch along the coast to Palmerston. From there we headed in land to Middlemarch to meet up with the Central Otago Rail Trail as far as Alexandra. We then back-tracked to Naseby and over Dansey's Pass to Kurow. From there we headed back out to the coast and North as far as Winchester from where we headed inland and along the face of the Alps to the Rakaia Gorge, then on to Christchurch.
