We had good weather for once, so I went for a reasonably long (43km or so) bike ride and then climbed [a very small mountain] (https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/auckland/places/mount-william-area/tracks/mount-william-walkway/) that we've been meaning to check out for a while.

Nice! I also went for a bike ride, with one of my kids (7yo). About 10km, so they did really well!

Yes, the weather was awesome!

Hang on, the Bombay hills aren't a euphemism, that's a real suburb? Holy shit...

Yeah New Zealand has a few references to British India. The Coromandel Peninsula is named after the Coromandel Coast in East India.
