As anticipated,<br />
my battery<br />
conked out at<br />
the foot of the<br />
last hill so we<br />
swapped bikes<br />
and I coasted<br />
home with the<br />
aid of the turbo<br />
boost while<br />
Chris got a<br />
week’s exercise<br />
in one hit.<br />
Autumn sets a stunning backdrop for a bike ride along the Clutha River.<br />
Whizzing up a steep hill on my e-bike,<br />
passing my super-fit husband is an<br />
experience I will always treasure. I stopped at<br />
the top with a look of triumph on my face and<br />
cheered Chris on as he heroically pedalled<br />
his way up to meet me, sweat pouring from<br />
his brow.<br />

expedition and I had unwisely squandered<br />
my battery during our 50km ride while<br />
my chivalrous husband had conserved his,<br />
suspecting I would need it to get back to home<br />
base. As anticipated, my battery conked out at<br />
the foot of the last hill so we swapped bikes and<br />
I coasted home with the aid of the turbo boost<br />
while Chris had a week’s exercise in one hit.<br />
Justine on the cycle track from Wanaka to Luggate.
