27th May 2011 Christchurch to Ashley Gorge 65km

Afer spending 3 days in Christchurch we cycled into the Canterbury Plains which is a huge flat area along the east coast of the South Island.  It is amazing to see all the giant hedges along the farm lands.  Most hedges are about 5 m, some are about 25m.  For the last 15 km of the ride Les was riding slower and slower.  It was only after we arrived that we realised that she had a very soft tyre and a slow puncture.  Anyone who cycles knows how much harder it is to ride with a soft tyre.  Ashley Gorge very rustic and we had it all to ourselves.
