Nov 2, 2007.Location: Hanmer Springs.
Our November Best of the Best 14 day South Island tour is on the road and we're off to a great start. Though we're only on Day 2, the weather has been fantastic and the entire group is having a blast.
We spent a the first day pootling around Nelson and Golden Bay getting used to the bikes and riding on the correct side of the road. The views over Golden and Tasman Bays from the top of the Takaka Hill were fantastic.
Today we rode from Nelson to the thermal resort town of Hanmer Springs via Lewis Pass. The roads were almost deserted, and the clean mountain air and sunlight shining through the canopy of the beech forests were great.
On this tour we have a party of 6 one of whom, Laura Flynn, won a free tour with us at the BMWMOA Rally in Burlington, Vermont last year. Each year at the BMWMOA rally in the US, we give away 2 free tour prize - if you live in the US make sure you get along to the MOA rally to be in with a chance for yourself.
I'll post more as the trip progresses.
Safe riding,
John & Ian
