As usual I started late at 10.30 morning after cooking a yummy big breakfast and spent some to check and clean my bike.This has become a normal practice whenever I put up a night in backpackers or hostels. Riding out of Christchurch is so much easier than Dunedin,the streets are so quiet,empty and less tracfic,surprisingly the outskirt looks more busy than the city center, taking on a smaller SH74 Main South Road passing Redwood,Kaiapoi and then merging with the busy SH1 to Amberley,after Amberley I was caught in a very strong headwind,pedaling with only my granny gear of 7-10kmh for 10km until the turn-off junction in Waipara. Found a nice camping spot under bridge with Waipara river. This is a playing ground for motocross and ATV but I stay put to camp anyway. Tomorrow will be taking the SH 7 detour to Picton cos' SH1 can only reach until Kaikoura, and from Kaikoura to Picton is still closed after the earthquake.
