The Big Trip South: Day 4 - 2nd Jan - Ride to Nelson

Crossed on BlueBridge depart Wellington 8:00am $105.00
Rode over the Queen Charlotte Drive. If I had known about it I would have turned off at Pelorous and headed to Nelson over the Maungatapu to come into Nelson along the Maitai river.
Visited Bronny in Nelson for lunch.

Dusty Butt 1000km 2009 riders BBQ at Werewolf's house in Nelson.
Got to meet all the guys off the forum and others as well.
At riders briefing we were all sternly warned about "Ryan's Corner" in "The Rainbow" part of the ride.

Rode back to Nordie's place with Jatz (DR BIG 750)
Nordie had kindly offered up a few places to sleep in his house on the forum. Very good of him to allow complete strangers into his house.
