28th Dec - DAY ONE – Tour de Femme - Nelson


I woke to a beautiful Nelson morning , the girls were nervous which was is warranted for the first day of racing the tour. I bundled the girls into the car down to the Brightwater Motel for their first stage of around 70kms. I left the girls waiting on the start line.

My own plans included to go over to the Abel Tasman National Park to do 21kms of the track . I got there around 10:30am and started off in around 20 degrees with a full pack of food - but I forget my ipod . The run took 3 hours has the track was littered with walkers - the scenery was beautiful , the greenish trees and bluish water.

I was hour early before my water taxi , but I was lucky enough to talk an earlier driver into a seat.
I finished the day by visited my boss who was staying in Mapua holiday camp for a well-deserved beer.
