Mountain biking heaven
Today was up there on my best days on the bike list, peaceful, friendly, a great workout and utterly stunning scenery.
It took me 4 hours to cycle 38 miles - I had forgotten how much slower and harder it is than road cycling. (I’m also totally rubbish at navigating without my garmin routes!)
I pedalled down the Clutha river to Luggate, via a much needed enormous slice of carrot cake, then back along the other side of the river. It was mostly single track but allegedly ‘easy’ - I hate to think what an ‘advanced’ track looks like in NZ!
Two cyclists in front of me pedalled across this swing bridge - I definitely didn’t..
It’s a Sunday afternoon here but still not crowded - happy families picnicking, doggies swimming and just an overwhelming feeling of the good life. I feel like we have unfinished business all over New Zealand but we both want to return to Wanaka.
