The return of Angela loves cycling (for now)

I started Angela loves cycling as a way of sharing my experience of cycling the length of the North Island (the first half of the 3,000-kilometre Tour Aotearoa).

Stormy weather and talk of an ‘atmospheric river’ put an abrupt halt to last year’s attempt to cycle Tasman's Great Taste Trail. This year we got lucky, enjoying calm sunny days and warm temperatures (just before the weather turned to upset everyone else’s plans for Easter).

Reflections on my Tour Aotearoa experience

Our South Island Tour Aotearoa comes to an end

14 days cycling, 1,079 kilometres travelled, 11,295 metres climbed, many one-way bridges crossed (and lots of roadkill passed on the way)

And our first few days cycling down the West Coast

7 days of cycling, 501 kilometres travelled and 5,291 metres climbed (so far)

Picton, Havelock, Nelson and Tapawera

It’s just over a week until Chris and I head off on our Tour Aotearoa South Island adventure.

Happy new year!

The ongoing challenge to gain (and retain) decent cycle infrastructure

I like to post about places as I experience them - so things are still ‘fresh’ and give a sense of what I was thinking and feeling at the time.
