After suffering yesterday whole day rain, today is a sunny and cloudy day. Continuing on SH30 before it eventually merge with SH1 all the way to Lake Taupo. Even though the traffic is heavy but the smooth road with a wide shoulder,and the scenic views making up for another good day. Arriving in Taupo around 4pm and it started to rain a little while i took shelter at Countdown supermarket and bought some camp foods. Today in Taupo also saw many cyclists took part in a Taupo Challenge ride around the lake for a distance of 160km. When I pass by i saw many cyclists still crossing the finish line,I too making a U-turn and rode along some of them to cross the finishing line to the cheers of many spectators around. My intention is just for fun,but instead i was presented with a finishing medal.What a big surprise!! After hanging at the event field for a while,i rode off to my intended free campground just down the road next to the lake.
