It was a two saddle day that included climbs up Tadmore and Braeburn Saddles along side Nelson Lakes and Kahurangi National Parks, but the real shining star was Lake Rotoroa. She’s lovely! The squadrons of sandflies that come with… not so much. 🤣
We started the day on pavement with recently milked cows and quirky county mailboxes keeping us company.
It wasn’t long until we were back on gravel with four stream crossings as we rode down the Braeburn saddle. It was a gorgeous decent (and rideable).
Just before we tackled the Braeburn Saddle, we stopped for a bit of lunch at Gowan’s and met sweet Louise who had a homemade remedy for keeping sand flies away. It might be radioactive but it sure worked!
