#mangatapu

After leaving Pelorus Bridge cafe where I bumperd into a TA organiser having a coffee, I hit the gravel for the first time on the trip. My bike was feeling good and it was pretty chilled riding, I even got a swim in before the climb up Maungatapu Saddle. I think he was called Eric, told me it was the biggest climb of the island so I got stuck in to a grind.
