Biggest joke today,how on earth I can lose my helmet as I woke up to discover that.Definitely not stolen, no stupid fool thief will just interested on my old helmet where I have more valuable things for him or her. I guess I must have misplaced or dropped in the Jim Currie Reserve when I first arrived yesterday. I did go round to find in the morning but to no vial,guess someone must have pickup and happily keeping it.Anyway I still have a head scuff and a face bandanna to wear. Not my usual practice to ride without helmet,but show must go on,just be extra careful on the road especially on a fast downhill.7km arriving in Tokoroa, nice town with lots of wood carving ,statue of pine man with a chainsaw, and with free WiFi from Spark hotspot.Big hills are over now and the ride on gradually down gradient as I moved closer to Hamilton, but a nice pinic area with a beautiful lakeview near Cambridge stops me from continuing the ride. Guess I will just have to ride pass Hamilton tomorrow.
