Day 2 - Cycling

As we are both triathletes, we always go cycling in Hong Kong. In our original plan, we would have two cycling sessions in our trip. We canceled the cycling as I mentioned before, but we still wanted to have some workouts in our trip. We planned to rent bicycles at Queenstown, but Jeff offered his mountain bikes to us!

Fernhill->Queenstown->Arrowtown->Arthur Point->Queenstown (47km/29miles)
We started from Fernhill, then cycling anti-clockwise to Arrowtown. After lunch, we cycled back by the north side route.

 On the way to Arrowtown, we passed by many sheep farms!

We brought our own helmets with us!

We stopped at Arrowtown. This was a town developed by Gold Rush, and many Chinese miners lived here during that time.

We are cycling back through Malaghans Road and Arthurs Point Road. The traffic was much lesser. But it was a hot day, both of us were a little bit dehydrated.

There was a hot spring resort close to Arthurs Point.

The bridge is right over Shotover River. The road coming down to the bridge is very steep.

Some big speed boats hovered on the river and splashed some water on the passengers. Is it really fun?
