57: Cycling Breakfast


This morning the World Women's Cycle Tour was departing from the Square at 10am. And so Sport Manawatu organised a cycling breakfast from 9am for anyone who cycled to the Square. Delicious. 

I did some housework and hung the laundry out before I took a leisurely cycle ride the 2.5km or so downtown. There were 'all sorts' of cyclists present, but not everyone is quite as lazy/ laid-back about cycling as I am. Some had done a lengthy training ride before arriving for the breakfast, eg the "Velo Girls" group pictured here...

  7. I think he might have been the one who came when I had my accident. Only I wasn't smiling then- cos I was a bit sore.... so he wasn't smiling either. Wouldn't have been the done thing inside in an ambulance or A&E!!

  9. Think I'd have to pat that young policeman on the head..doesn't look old enough to shave! By the way...those are the arm warmers that were mentioned on the Camino Forum...wonderfully useful things!

  10. Yes, my Quebec friends had some of those when I did the Camino, and at the time I thought what a great idea- I will have to do that myself next time. Lets you turn a t-shirt into a warmer layer, without carrying long sleeved-ts. Also as the day warms up, makes it so easy to strip down. Saves you doing the full striptease I did from long-sleeved to short sleeved-t somewhere along the path or even road!!!
