Today’s conditions were way more gentle with me than the day before. Very chill traffic! Arthur’s Pass is significantly nicer from the northern side with some beautiful gorge and very steep grades (16% for 2km or so). Glad I was going downhill but should have taken some pictures.

Yesterday I was so tired that by the end of the ride that the wind blew me off the road and I hit the barrier. Not severely but hard enough to tear my front drybag. I unironically got some FlexTape and hope that Phill Swift is a man of honor and it will hold up. 😅

Oh and my resting hr is getting slightly too low 😬 Time for some rest.
