Mountain Biking in the Hunua Ranges
Although it's the equivalent of November in the Northern Hemisphere, we spent yesterday mountain biking in shorts and t-shirts. We took our new bikes for a ride in the Hunua Ranges, about 45 min. south of our house. It was our first attempt at mountain biking, so we took it easy. Susan was pleased to discover that she's now in better shape than Chris. We're looking forward to exploring more of the easy trails in the Hunuas and avoiding the scary ones called things like "Challenge Trail." Yikes.

Chris trying to fix Susan's gears. His incompetent attempts got us through the day, but we're really looking forward to the "how to fix your bike" book coming with the rest of our stuff.
Blackberries in November (ok, May, but you know what we mean).
