I rode 45 miles from Devonport to Wynyard on the first day and had a very cold night in my tent. I bought a pink wool blanket from a second hand shop and decided to avoid the questionable dirt roads of the west coast and ride south instead. After a couple days of riding and a couple more cold nights I'm in Tullah, replanning again. In the land of the Roaring 40's, weather is unpredictable. This morning had a lightning storm and this afternoon had hail. Tomorrow more snow is predicted. I originally thought to ride through Rosebery, Zeehan, and Strahan, but tomorrow I may make a dash to Queenstown and hunker down for a couple more days instead.
This really isn't going well.
