Great ride. Got lots of care from the driver/operator and help with the bikes getting set up and met us during the ride - next level of care was very much appreciated by us older riders. Beautiful route along the river and lake. Good easy riding route most of the way; some challenging bits when the path along the lake was narrow, beside steep sides, or windy. When it was windy, we got off the bikes and walked to be safe. We got to ride our bikes right back to our hotel - we were tired and happy. One of our best days in New Zealand.
