As we were heading to bed last night, the rain was thundering down like I’ve never seen before!!! Scary. Wouldn’t want to be riding when that’s happening. The forecast is for rain the next 5 days….and snow over the pass to get us back to Christchurch. Yikes!!!! Ok….plan B. Return the bikes early….but only if the rain settles. Plan C is to rent a vehicle and trailer to get them back….Plan D is to take a bus back to Christchurch and let the shop deal with the bikes!!!
When we got up this morning the rain had settled somewhat so we decided to ride. Light drizzle as we loaded up, which turned into a heavy rain for about 45min, stopping as we got into Greymouth. I love this town…but no time to explore….we wanted to get going to Christchurch….so fill up the bikes, and breakfast at the gas station and off we went.
Arthur’s pass was gorgeous….just as I imagined ….but too much rain and cold to stop. We headed towards clear skies…the rain stopped about 45 min out of Christchurch and by the time we arrived it was 21C!!!! Nice and warm now. We have a rental car now for the rest of the trip. Heading south then up the west coast then back east to Christchurch. 😃😃😃.

Don’t you hate it when weather gets in the way? 🙃 Glad you’re able to be flexible with modes of transportation and hope you get back to explore more fully!
