Rest Day - Christchurch

Day 25 - Monday 22 March 2010
Dist: 00 km. Av. Speed: 00 km/hr. Cal: NA. Ride Time: NA

For a rest day, it was actually really busy… the first task was to take my bike in to R&R Sport for a service and to grab a bike box to transport Joris’ bike. We got that organised then delivered the box and surgically placed Joris’ disassembled bike into it ready for his flight back to Wellington.
The next thing on the list was lunch and a catch up with Meg in the city centre. You’ll know her husband Keith, he’s the one posting all the ‘stirring’ comments on the blog, but unfortunately he’s away coaching volleyball at the secondary school national champs at the moment. Cheers Meg, it was nice to catch up with you.
The airport was next, to drop Joris off and then it was time to organise my own gear, pick up my bike from R&R then catch up with Monique and Richard Hurst-Long. Thanks for the wonderful meal Monique and the great night’s sleep.
Maintenance on my bike included new pedals, another new spoke nipple, new derailleur idlers, new brake pads and truing up both wheels and aligning the disc brakes.
