Pleased with my static miles this week 7.5 hours over 5 days. Apple's genius playlists are helping the hours zip by. That and glossing over cycling literature, which is possible in short bursts, with precise positioning of said literature on my handlebars to avoid dripping myself on it.

Decided to take a photo of my daily view. It's going to be quite a contrast to be zooming through the flora and fauna of NZ, rather than idly casting my eye over piles of laundry.

Got my flight ticket sent through today. I've planned my tactic to adjust to the new time zone, which under ordinary circumstances could result in me being a right old rat-bag. But I suspect being about to embark on a month of cycling will be the perfect antidote.
