Today was the first official day of the tour. It was a short ride in the hills just South of Christchurch - some excellent climbing on nearly deserted roads. It's still weird on the left side of the road - it's especially scary descending fast going around blind corners, since your mind is telling you that a car is coming around the corner in your lane! Shiver. But, the weather was once again very pleasant, though a pesky cool wind would cut through occasionally.
We decided we should stock up for the rest of the trip:
One case of mixed NZ SB, one of mixed pinots. Funny to watch them try to select wines based on the labels! It could get dangerous on this tour; last night we went through a couple SBs and a couple pinots. Hard (and pointless) to try and keep up with Rinaldi.
dude, looks great. love the pix and the stories. stay safe! can't imagine the driving on the left side of the road panic
