点评:Communications with Cycle Journeys to arrange our trip were thorough and frequent, and we arrived at the Hokitika depot well prepared. There Claire gave us the run down for each of the four days we were on the trail. On the one day (3) the weather was foul she suggested we wait until midday before cycling the second half of the section. Luke, who also serviced my own bike for nothing, dropped us off; on all other occasions Steve did the shuttling - we can not speak highly enough of all three.
We booked Superior accommodation and were not disappointed - lovely hosts and excellent value.
As for the trail itself, it is both beautiful and interesting, and is best taken slowly. We are both in our 80s (just!), one of us on a hybrid push bike, and we found the trail easy. However we did not cycle the first uphill section of the Canoe Cove to Kumara trail which would have required ebikes for both of us.
翻译:我们与 Cycle Journeys 的沟通非常周到,安排了行程,到达霍基蒂卡车站时,我们做好了充分的准备。Claire 在那里为我们详细介绍了我们四天骑行路线的每一天。有一天(3),天气很糟糕,她建议我们等到中午再骑下半段。Luke 还免费帮我保养了自行车,把我们送到了目的地;其他时间都是 Steve 接送我们——我们对他们三个人都赞不绝口。
我们预订了高级房,果然没有失望——房东很友善,性价比很高。
至于这条路线本身,它既美丽又有趣,最好慢慢走。我们俩都八十多岁了(刚好!),其中一个骑的是混合动力自行车,我们觉得这条路线很容易。但是,我们没有骑完从卡诺湾到库马拉路线的第一个上坡路段,因为那段路我们俩都需要电动自行车。
