So I got back on my bike yesterday and went on the ride I should have gone on for a recovery ride...
A nice little loop out to Arrowtown, going out along the main highway and then coming back in along the road below Coronet Ski Peak.
The road crosses the Shotover River very close to Queenstown on a little one-way bridge.
Looking upstream, here's the launch point for the Shotover Jet operation, one of the famous hairball jetboat river rides.
And looking downstream...holy cow.
This view is about a 20 minute bike ride from Queenstown...
