August Queenstown bike ride.
Last month I got a new toy so I dragged the wife kicking and screaming , actually screaming with delight and kicking my butt to get a move on , off to Queenstown for a few days too try it out. It was a little frosty but fine and the sun was low and in the eyes but the pain was worth it with a few of the pics I took . I know people go on about how expensive Queenstown is but the air is free which matches the views with 3 days of free riding some of the trails. Come on summer so I can have a go at those Central Otago ones.
As usual , Clicking on a picture enlarges it in a new window for a better view. The last ones were Lake Hayes and notice after someone ( hint : last pic ) kicked my butt it need a pillow too handle the 30 - 40 kms a day

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

-
24.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated
