If someone ever suggests riding your bike in Craigieburn in the NZ Southern Alps... Don't do it, you will hate every moment of it.
Like being stuck in the worlderness having to make conversation with fellow bikers ESPECIALLY lovely ones that kick your ass.
Having to squint whilst the sun tries to burn through your SPF70. (Aka white paint)
You'll have to wait for what feels like an age in queues of other miserable bikers
Just so that you can slave your arse off to gain a few meters
Where you will have the missery of yet another horrid NZ scenic view and THEN you will have to ride down scree... Where there isn't even a freakin track, you have to plow the sh_t while depositing M&M sized nonconsumable nuggets in your knickers..
Cragieburn ..... Don't do it.
(Seems i have over dosed on today's 'smart arse pill'; where infact this is one of the greater bike rides I have ever done )
