This is Bruce. An inspiration cycle touring in his 70’s

really?

Having met fellow cycle tourer, Dr Paddy Pete, in the Pamir Mountains of Central Asia over a year ago. We were thrilled to host him in Welli before the final leg of his 2 year tour took him down into South Island towards Christchurch. Our Pete just couldn’t resist the opportunity to accompany an old mate from the road on a quick jaunt down south. Beautiful riding, lots of banter, the odd hot spring, plenty of sunshine appreciation and numerous tea stops ensued…
