Crazyguyonabike is back online and our plans for the the final part of our trip

Saturday November 10, 2012

The crazyguyonabike website is now back online after being down for several days so I am finally able to upload our last few riding adventures.As I write this it is Sunday afternoon and we are still in Queenstown on a weather hold. We have one last chance to visit Milford Sound tomorrow as the last two days it has been windy, cloudy, and rainy and the sightseeing planes have been grounded. A visit to Milford Sound is very weather dependent. Regardless, we will continue our trip on Tuesday by taking a bus to Dunedin on the East Coast where we will start on the Central Otago Rail Trail which takes you into the heartland of Otago over dirt roads and through some of New Zealand’s best landscapes. The distance is 480 km or about 300 miles so we hope we can finish it before riding a bus back to Christchurch. We fly to Sydney on the 25th. Also included on the post are a few pictures and videos from our Fox Glacier adventure and Jocelyn’s bungee jump adventure. I was a spectator!
