At last!

I have been wanting to ride my bike out to Karioitahi, but the conditions need to be right as the road is often crazy busy. This evening the road was quiet and the weather cloudy, so no sunstrike for drivers. I had a lovely ride in the cool and then did extra, clocking up 30 km. (It’s a ‘pedal assist’ bike so gives me a better range.)

wonderful scene beautifully capture in lovely clarity Dianne, is this not cheating a bike ride with pedal assist, lol:)

[Dianne]

@pcoulson sure is cheating - I’d still be getting up the steep hill from the beach otherwise!

[julia]

Well done... @pcoulson I know the road to the beach and no one in their right mind would go down to the beach on anything other than a
pedal assist...

[Denise Wood]

Terrific capture :)

[Sheralee S]

How neat! 30km sounds good to me.

[Bep]

Well done!

[Lou Ann]

Good for you!

[Henri Russell]

Beautiful area. Sounds like a great accomplishment, even with legal assist.

[Issi Bannerman]

How lovely. Nice bike too with all the necessaries attached; saddle bags, GPS and water bottle. :-)

You certainly have to pick and choose routes and times with NZ’s crazy drivers. Had to stop walking around our block in the morning, due to the mass exodus of commuter traffic. Used to be unusual to see more than one car at 6.30am

Looks like a great spot.

[carol white]

Well done

[Pat Knowles]

You & @maggimae alike....I like the sound of this....bike rides are lovely, you can see so much as you cycle along!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

how fantastic :)

[Dawn]

Oh how cool it sure is a cool way to get around and you see so much good going

[sarah]

looks like it was a wonderful ride! can't wait for the weather to get nicer here .

[Dianne]

@happypat yes @maggiemae loves her bike too. I guess she’s got it on the back of her van for her next adventure.

[Boo]

come over in the summer and we can ride together

[Dianne]

@huvesaker that I would love to do.... but it probably won’t happen!!

[Marnie]

I wish I'd been able to keep my e-bike, but the roads round here are just too busy for me these days. My balance is rubbish and I just can't afford to fall off (with or without cars). I'm so envious of you being able to rock around on this magic steed.

[Islandgirl]

Wow 30k........oh a bike assist would sure help! I love biking!
Great shot and view!

[Dianne]

@golftragic yes I can understand your disappointment - they are such fun.

[KWind]

Wow... great image! What a view!

[Steve and Pam Winfield]

Nice a photo that must have given you pleasure.:)

[haskar]

A friend of a great trip.

[Yao RL]
