Amazing experience
We had a really good time doing the bike trail . We found it much easier with the electric bikes otherwise the trail seems abit of a mixed bag in terms of difficulty. But most of it was quite easy . The hardest part would be the beginning before the first Gibbston winery stop where it takes over an hour or so to get there. I can’t imagine anyone overdoing with the wines as most of the trail could be dangerous or hard to cycle to. Overall the scenes were amazing , we didn’t make it to the final stop but the team were punctual to pick us up.
