Rotorua to some where

Rotorua to some where

After spending about a week?  At my friends place in rotorua it time for this girl to get back on the road - and she has a new plan on where's she is heading next on the bike -

The old plan was to head back to te kuiti but for a number of reasons it's now been changed to a new plan  : )

The new plan is to head towards Auckland in a some what round about way and not making very detailed plans : )

  I been asked to help at horse event in taupo (again : ) - they must of like me helping at the last one : ) so I will need to be back in taupo just before that show starts  - besides that I don't need to be in any one place until the time of the event : )  so I'm doing a big loop ride - maybe stay a few days in Auckland but will wait and see how things go  -

So what am I doing after I get finished helping at the event at taupo?

 I'm just going see where the road takes me in my travels on the road less travelled (on my pink recumbent trike : )

After packing up the last of my gear on the bike - including a new solar panel (to keep my e-suff (including my phones) charged up  - part of some things I picked up during my stay in rotorua - also pick up some more walking poles to help me on the days when my legs are not working very well (I have been having some issues with my legs - more than the usual ones that I deal with with my disabilitys - the poles also can be used to set up my camping hammock on the ground in a tent like way : ) - for when there's no trees around) and finally a replacement tire for the one that that died on the first day out from te kuiti - after a few days of delay it finally turned up the day before I'm leaving )  it's time to start riding : )

After leaving my friends place the first stop is the supermarket to stock up on food as the next supermarket on my planed route is a few days away (I will be on some back roads that go around small towns so limited options for getting more food ) then its out of town by the cycle trail that first runs though a geothermal area then uses the route of the old rail way through town to Ngongotaha  then its back on the road (back road) past the agrodome (tourist place (farm /adventures place) before turning on to the much more busy S. H. 5 and starting a long slow climb -

I keep riding for a few more hours until I get to a place to stay the night - it's a place that I have stayed before in my travels - in the bush just off the road (well out of sight)  - since I have my hammock with me this time I decided it's nicer and easier to set that up instead of using my tent (the ground is rough and muddy (not the best for a tent) - it takes a bit of work to get it right (including getting it nice and level)  - i do some reading before heading off to sleep for the night  : )
