The Wandering Druid

I have decided to create a blog for anyone interested in Druidry and what we randomly do in our down time. My personal choice is to ride the country roads of New Zealand. I intend to give you doses of ritual, music, photos, stories, videos, trail information etc. It is about the freedom e-biking gives me. I take my lunch and trusty thermos and take off for the day on Stardrift, my beautiful trusted friend.

I have been doing this for a couple of years now and was going to backdate the blog but it was all too much, so if you want to see what I have been up to check out my FB page….The Wandering Druid NZ.

I am starting with my last ride, pretty much the first of the summer 2022. Enjoy! Oh and don’t forget to ask me anything.

Longest ride

So obviously I need to get better at my maths! I worked out on Mrs Google to do a ride from home, over the Okahukura Saddle Rd to Matiere, then to Ongarue and back down the Ongarue Back Rd. My calculation was 56 kms….turns out it was 74 kms! Lucky I have a memory foam seat, padded pants and a battery that does 120kms. It was a beautiful day out on a sealed road with interesting things to stop and see along the way, great music, a bit of poetry writing, observations and a wee ritual when I stopped for lunch.

If anyone is interested in my Spotify music I will be making up a cycling playlist shortly….I’m under rfilleul and the name of the playlist will be FREEDOM. Enjoy!
