Holiday time in Lake Tekapo region

View on bike ride
I can thoroughly recommend a holiday in April in this area. For four days we had perfect weather, lots of lovely walks, hot pools to dip in (or out!) and plenty of fabulous places to ride our bikes. On the first day we went on a challenging 6k circuit ride and walk to Lake McGregor and over the hills back to our bach (think the Sound of Music here!) and an even more challenging 27k ride (with the Mackenzie Tours van hovering behind us!) around Lake Tekapo. The views were just magic, not a breath of wind and surrounded by towering mountains! We took Anzac biscuits and Jazz apples for a snack, they have never tasted better than when we stopped for our rest half way!
We all made the trip in about 3 hours which is not bad considering our lack of build up training. A very memorable holiday with great friends!
