Hi everyone! We've organized our trip into five different slide shows - one for each week of our travels and one that holds all the videos that we created along the way. Please feel free to explore. If you wish to view just the images and videos, and perhaps download full size or differently sized images or see slide shows of each day etc., please visit the Austin DaSilva Works Flickr page where all of this stuff is stored. We hope you enjoy these images and accounts, because we certainly enjoyed being there and recording them for you.

Feb 22 - Getting out of Dodge

CHRISTCHURCH TO DARFIELD

There's really not much to tell here as can be attested by the lack of photographs or videos. It was a short ride but we had to subtract as many kilometres as we could from the next day which, if we didn't stop in Darfield would have totalled 170kms. And we didn't want that to happen.

Getting out of town was easy but took forever and there were countless roundabouts to get past. The only thing of note was that my new bike, the Surly Long Haul Trucker passed her first one thousand kilometre mark.

We stopped and took some pictures and then following a brief and touching ceromony, carried on.

Now my Long Haul Trucker is starting to live up to her name.
