Here come the Electric bikes...waiting for the first hill.
Father and son...son has biked on ahead doing wheelies, while dad chats and can’t get his backpack hip strap over his pot belly.
Notice the gate catch...bailing twine & the horizontal fence post making up the shortfall on the reinforcing mesh...don’t ya just love the Coast!
Moss on the fence..means very clean air and wet too!
Easy trail, nice weather, easy days..Paradise is well behind me now and up ahead too...in fact it’s everywhere...Mate!
Reflecting on things as I ride by these ferns.
The rear view of the Westland Milk Factory
Milk tankers via Rail...their is a certain beauty in Industry if you look hard enough!
Six in a row, what an impressive sight...more than a few bobs worth too... I reckon!
And that finished my bike ride for the Coast...this time!
I checked out the whitbaiter world too as I was parked very near I went down and chatted to few of the locals finding out something about the magic of this very kiwi past time. This bloke from CHCH came over mostly to whitebait! The season ends on the 14th Nov and is a little later on the east coast side of the Island! I’m told it’s quite a skillfull pastime, and your catch can change as fast as the weather...but one certainly captures some of the serenity....just be watching!
The next day, different blokes, same idea!
This is what drives these blokes to spend hours in the wind and rain walking the rivers after the legendary whitebait.
You don’t get much to eat after they have been gutted and filleted...but to the coasters it is “Life on the Coast!”
Part 2...but still some things happened to me before heading east to CHCH...in the next blog!
Till then, be creative and have fun.
Cheers.
The solo Jimu!
