Dear Mr. Bruce Ringer

I noticed today in your book Bike New Zealand that you described the
section between Wanaka and Hawea as "dips 3 km... Then gradually rises
for 8 km.". You then describe the section from Hawea to The north end
if Lake Wanaka as "gradually rising" and "undulating".

For a small fee, I would be happy to let you use my own adjectives to
describe the hills in this section, such as "unrelenting", "painful",
or even the phrase "the worst bloody hills you'll see on this 14-day
tour."

I have some 4-letter words that would be fitting as well, but for
those i'll have to charge double.

P.S. Beautiful country you've got, and clever how you use sandflies
to keep the tourists from coming back!

  1. sorry to inform you, but the road over the range between wanaka and queenstown is probably the worst you will encounter on your trip. you can go the long way around though via Cromwell, but its nearly twice the distance.

    good luck and enjoy queenstown and wanaka!!
