Riding to Work

Wed 18th 2009

It's one of his longer commutes to work. On Wednesday morning Jonathan caught the 3am ferry to Picton and cycled to the 5:30pm work party at Project Rameka. He was five minutes late, and according to Martin "Pretty useless" once he got there.

Jonathan rode via the Maungatapu Track (to avoid traffic), Mapua (to visit a friend for afternoon tea), and of course - the icing on the cake - the Rameka Track.
