Sunday 28th August

Planting day so up and onto the Cruiser and then Silverfox and I headed around to Phatboys.  We collected him, Mellonfarmer and Dozer before heading up Kilmore and through Hagley Park, past Mona Vale and then along the bike lane beside the railway track.  Pumped all the way to Tuckers Rd and cut through a couple streets and onto Claridges and across to Sawyers Arm Rd.  Up here over Johns Rd and into the reserve by the lakes.  Around here and into the track along the Otakaikino River to the planting site.  Spent 2 hours planting before reversing our journey.  Good steady pump all the way back.  Split into 2 groups at Mona Vale.  Silverfox and I headed towards Riccarton and then past Placemakers, Bunnings and onto Whitleigh Ave with me stopping at Carapult Employment for pre rugby meeting.  Watched the game, imbibed and then pumped the 5kms home from there.  A round trip of 43km approximately for the day.
