20th June 20011 Cromwell rest day

We raced in to the bike shop in Cromwell only to be told that their mechanic is on 3 weeks leave in Brisbane.  The owner of the store replaced the broken spoke but could not get the wheel true.  We will have ride the 65 km to Wanaka tomorrow with a buckled wheel and hope for the best.  Took an afternoon walk in the beautiful winter sun along Lake Dunstan, which is huge.  We learnt that the experience extremes of temperatures here from 50 degrees in summer to -17 degrees in winter.  We were very surprised to hear that because we always assumed the south island was a cold place.
