Tour Aotearoa 2018

Heat and hills

After CAN's NZ Bike Expo in Christchurch I grabbed a couple of days to ride to Akaroa - one of the few places in NZ I'd never visited. A lovely flat run from Christchurch to Little River, then the going gets tough. Living in Wellington, I'm not acclimated to Canterbury heat. I had to take a few rest breaks in the shade on the 470m hill. Great views from Hilltop over Akaroa harbour was the reward.

What are your strategies for managing the heat?
