Southern Riding?

Lake Moananui, early morning, 50 meters from my front door.

I have been a bit slack with the updates recently. This NZ summer I have been staying away from the race scene a focusing on my weakness's and doing quite a large pile of work. Having minimal output last year with my painting due to the two big jobs and time overseas racing, I am feeling the need to put more work out there. On the other hand, I have had the chance to dabble in running, easy weights, pilates, yoga and now some squash. My coach has also been trying very hard to get me inspired to swim in the pool.
However at this time of year when we get our first snow falls down south I am finding it very hard to stay in my studio, and am considering a road trip south. The light, changing colours and unpredictable weather always make great photography. Also running and riding some awesome mountain ranges and new trails in the process makes so much more inviting. Where to go is the question? Meander down the west coast or head east and into Otago?
