Surprised for today's ride is being hosted by a local Warmshower Bob when I arrived in Murchison at 12.30 noon and the sun started shining,so i took the opportunity to dry my wet stuffs like tent,groundsheet clothes etc,while checking on my rear tyres which has a cracked line earlier that causes yesterday's puncture. Bought a spare 26" tube ( Kenda tube made in China) for 9 nzd. While fixing the tube,Bob came to check whether i needed any help, " Yes, i need a new 26" tyres" at the same time showed him the cracked portion of the tyres. He told me he has some old tyres at home some 16km further down the SH6 road, and he is a warmshower member as well. " That's great so I can stay in your house today". Bob wrote down his address and I consumed my packed lunch til all my wet stuffs were dried, I missed the turning for the 1st time and made a U turn to ask the direction,eventually I arrived at the farm by 3pm. Bob who is staying alone was there to shown me around,toilet,hot shower room,power charging and a nice designated campsite for touring cyclists like me.
