some where to bluff : )
last day of this end to end bike ride : )
packing up camp i get on the road some what late as i was talking to some other bike touring people for a bit that I met the night before. it's a some what easy ride to the town of lumsden where i full up on water from a motor home dump station (many but not all of then have clean drinking water out a tap(town water) and get some food for the days ride. back on the road i ride over the last big hill (ram hill) then its mostly down hill to invercargill and bluff - in many places they are road works going on that slow me down some what. passing though winton its the last town with shops ( with a supermarket ) before invercargill . getting into the city of invercargill i leave it as fast as i can - to many crazy cars and people to deal with after being in the middle of nowhere for most of the last 2 months. riding the last 30 km or so out to bluff seems to time for ever. the winds don't help findly i get into the town of bluff - wondering just where the sign post is the end point of this ride - well after a few more km i do find it at the end of the road (the end/start of S.H.1 depending on which way you are going )

and the cape reinga to bluff bike ride for THINK is now done : )
getting some photos down before it gets dark - it was a bit of a race to get to the sign before it got dark : ) I end up chatting to a few people who have driven to the car park - seems people come to this place for many of the same reasons that they go to the cape at the top of nz - getting some one to take a photo of me at the sign post (can be hard to take photos like that on your own with out some way of holding the camera up : ) then its time to work out just where im going to be spending the night - i find out theres a nice camp ground only a few km away in bluff so I head for there for the night
