Anyone cycled the Otago rail trail in New Zealand?
It’s 150 km on gravel. We’re intending doing it as a relaxed leisure trip, enjoying the scenery, food, towns etc. I’m a keen cyclist, but my wife has arthritis, using an e-bike at home. Its a holiday trip, it isn’t intended as a challenge / test.
I’m struggling with the description of the recommendations for the trail. The tour companies seem to recommend 4 to 5 days. I can’t see any reason why 3 wouldn’t be quite straightforward and leisurely. We can hire an e-bike for my wife and get it charged at the accommodation providers overnight. Am I missing something, or is the average person who undertakes it a non-cyclist?
