Wednesday morning we are picked up in Christchurch by our cycle guides, Sue and Wayne and taken to Adventure South’s depot for a bike fitting and briefing. We then drove to Geraldine for a short stop before heading to the start of today’s ride – 20km into the small town of Fairlie for lunch. With the start of the ride on the top of a hill it was an easy start to the tour.
We then drove to and through the town of Tekapo to ride the first 14 km of the alternate start to the A2O. Sue suggested we ride back to town to avoid the wind that had increased. Good plan but still a windy ride.
Our accomodation for the night was in a holiday house we shared with new American friends Grosvenor and Wendy from Maine.
A pretty town by Lake Tekapo that is experiencing a building boom.
Thanks so much for sharing.
I want to do it😊
