A great way to start the day, climbed to the top of Mt Kyeburn in clear skies to get 360 views from
lower Waitaki River, Danseys Pass, Maniototo Basin, and Ida Range. Got a good overview of where I was riding yesterday, St Mary Range and Oteake Conservation Park. Even got to see Mt Cook in the distance.
After coming down from the tops it was time for some gravel thrashing around North Otago back roads. Did some sightseeing at NZ's largest gold mine at Macraes.
The second gem for the day was gaining permission to ride the paper road through Lambs Hill Station to get more panoramic views next to the local weather radar. Then exiting across the famous Taieri Gorge railway.
Finished off a good day with sand between my toes and a scrumpy in my hand.
