Mountain Biking the Queen Charlotte Track near Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand
The first real adventure of my 12-day Misty Mountain Hop trip with Sacred Rides New Zealand (
The weather was a little crazy, as this trip usually involves lots of swimming and sweating! We rode the Queen Charlotte Track over to Lochmara Lodge and stayed the night. Then we took a boat back, it was a sweet adventure.

The Adventures of TallGuyCyclist - Episode 1
Here is the description of the incident that I wrote for the formal complaint I made to the Police:
I was cycling north-east along Main South Road, approaching the roundabout at the intersection of Main South Road, Epsom Road, Blenheim Road and Alloy Street, next to Avon City Ford in Sockburn. I intended to enter the roundabout from Main South Road (south-west side of the roundabout), cross Epsom Road, cross Main South Road (north-east side of the roundabout) and exit on Blenheim Road travelling east. The date was 1-05-2009 and time was 7:51am.
As I entered the roundabout, I extended my right arm straight out to indicate that I was turning right. I crossed Epsom Road. Then I started to cross Main South Road (north-east side of the roundabout). My right arm was still fully extended. When I was approximately halfway across the road, a dark grey Nissan Primera shot across the front of my path, cutting me off. The car was travelling from my right to my left and was exiting the roundabout to Main South Road (north-east side of the roundabout). The car was towing a trailer and the driver was the only occupant. I was forced to suddenly swerve to my left and slam on my brakes to avoid the car and trailer. The car missed me by less than one metre.
I shouted abuse at the driver. The car slowed down and the driver looked around. The car then continued on its way. I turned right and re-entered the roundabout.
I was wearing a large pack with a fluorescent yellow pack cover. I had two rear lights on my bike and they were both going. I was also wearing various reflective items. I have a video camera on my handle bars and footage of the incident (which is compelling) can be download from tallguyracing.com/videos/20090501.avi. The audio contains (my) expletives and is also poor in quality.
This was a truly frightening experience. Had the car hit me, I would have been seriously injured. After I exited the roundabout on Blenheim Road, I had to pull over and stop. My hands were shaking uncontrollably. It took some time for me to calm down enough for me to continue my trip.

Wind on the Withers
Wind on the Withers is a project that had its origins in 2004, with the purchase of a first ditigal camera, exploring the Wither Hills Farm Park, an iconic feature of Blenheim.
In 2014, a collection of some of the best images over the past ten years, captured with various digital cameras has been assembled, and for each one a poem written.
The aim is to publish a book with the images and accompanying poetry along with an introduction to the Wither Hills Farm Park.

Road Trip: New Zealand South Island | Episode 2
In Episode 2 we share more New Zealand Road Trip adventures.
This time the spotlight is on the stretch between Picton to Kaikoura. This will be the first leg of a NZ South Island road trip for many. In our case we made a little diversion across toward Havelock so that we could check out Marlborough Sounds and visit a few vineyards on the way to Kaikoura.
Our first night was spent at the delightful Smith's Family Farm which is on Queen Charlotte Drive. If you ever need a place to stay we recommend it wholeheartedly. They even have a private waterfall!
From here we cruised the to Blenheim, stopping at the Fromm Wineries cellar door for some wine tasting. Hint: It was amazing! The bottle of Pinot Noir we bought was a Christmas treat a few days later.
Kaikoura became our home for around 10 days and was exceedingly hard to leave. It's the kind of place that puts a stop to road trips because it has it all. A backdrop of snowy mountains, glacial blue water, abundant marine life, waves and chilled out vibes.
We spent our days surfing, including at the mythical Kahutara break, which is down at the south end of Peketa Beach. We liked the place so much that we camped at Peketa Beach Holiday Park the whole time.

Brough Motorcycle and Lawrence of Arabia
T.E. Lawrence, a famed WW1 soldier, had a fascination for Brough Motorcycles and had the misfortune of having a fatal accident while riding one. This display segment reenacts a little from his life with a restored Brough. The display was seen at the Classic Fighters 2005 airshow held at Omaka Aerodrome, Blenheim, New Zealand.
