Cycling with Louise

Filed under: Colorful Characters — Dale @ 11:09 am

Cycling in New Zealand is one of the great pleasures in life! It’s a beautiful country filled with friendly people and gorgeous scenery, and seeing it on a bicycle is the best way to go.

Our bicycle tour was of the Otago Rail Trail, on the south island of New Zealand. The tour was fully supported by Adventure South, a New Zealand tour company. They supplied a guide, support bus, bike trailer, bikes, accommodation, and two meals per day. Our equipment included hybrid bikes with bags on the handlebars and rear, helmets, cyclometers, and water bottles. It was excellent equipment and completely appropriate for the conditions.

Louise Shilito, our guide, is
experienced, capable, helpful, and friendly. She kept us moving at a steady, comfortable pace throughout the trip
and treated us with a wonderful mix of patience and respect. She is hard- working and does it all – from hoisting our bikes on and off the trailer to pointing out flora and fauna and steering us to the best sights, restaurants, and night spots. One of her most delightful attributes (and there are many) is knowledge of where the best coffee is brewed along the route.

Louise is an excellent cyclist and she rode with us whenever she could, taking turns with us, carrying the conversation and pointing out highlights. Although she did innumerable large and small things for us that week perhaps the best was helping us fight a headwind the last day. She drove the support bus to the end of the trail, cycled out, and rode back to the finish line with each of us, encouraging us to the end. For that, she has our eternal gratitude!
