We had booked six bikes for this day, but decided against it when we saw the weather: it was raining pretty hard. So Michael, Kate, and I walked from Reavers around the area called Queenstown Gardens. By the time we got around it, the weather had lightened up a bit, so we (well, I) changed my mind again and we went and got the bikes with Bianca, BC, and Ty. (Thomas was turned off my my mind-changing.)
By the time we were outfitted, it was 11AM and the rain had started again ... but we went out anyway. We headed out past the Queenstown airport, and turned back when we ran out of time: we wanted to get the bikes back in 2 hours, and Michael had a scheduled connection around 1PM. The rain was on and off, but some of the views near the turn-around point made it worthwhile.
BC and Ty were falling behind, so I sent Kate (with the spare tires and tools) and the others ahead while I stayed with those two. Wouldn't you know it ... that's when I got a flat tire. I was able to ride on it for a km or so, but then I had to walk the last 2 km. Not a fun way to finish a ride.
Michael went off to visit his friend, while BC, Ty, Kate, and I went to Devil Burger for lunch (the lineup for Ferg Burgers was nuts). They all went off to shop, so I went back to the room and napped.
For dinner, Kate and I walked to the grocery store and got salad, yogurt, and cider ... and took it back to the room. That, plus soup (bought on the first day) and leftover pizza (from The Cow), made up our dinner. We chatted with others, then headed to bed around 11PM.
