We flew down to Queenstown in the South Island, then drove to Clyde. Five of us had booked e-bikes to ride some cycle trails. Clyde is an old little town, established in the gold mining days. First we had coffee then crossed the road to get our bikes. The shuttle took us to Cromwell, where we started the ride.
The trail took us to Bannockburn then back to the point oposite Cromwell. From here we followed the edge of Lake Dunstan, formed by a dam.
The ride was 38km and was 'interesting' in places...
We stopped for lunch here - bacon butties.
There was some climb and hairpin bends...
The dots (us) by the lake show the scale.
Jo, Allister, Malcolm and Neil.
Some of the track clung to the cliffs, there were also bridges over the side creeks. It took us about five hours to get back to Clyde.
