beaches, bikes, and vineyards




We went for a bike ride on Sunday with our friends John and Jane. Our route included a ride on the forestry road on a nearby island called Rabbit Island. This is a popular public greenspace destination used for swimming, picnicking, cycling, etc. We rode 20 -25km on a variety of surfaces including this very bumpy forestry road. That part was challenging for us since our bikes do not have any shock absorbing capabilities. After our ride we found a vineyard cafe where we were able to take a break over a cup of coffee. These vineyard cafes are dotted among the vineyards around the Nelson region; very quaint. Our day was topped off by a meal at the home of our gracious friends.

  1. Now a bike shop is no longer the only place to find a great bike, you can find one online and have it shipped to your door and assembled in under ten minutes.
