Marlborough Constable's dream cycle trip cut short
A Marlborough police officer was forced to cut his 3000km cycle ride the length of New Zealand short due to the coronavirus lockdown.
Marlborough highway patrol Constable Brett Burns got as far as Wanaka on March 23 - having ridden about 2760km from Cape Reinga - when it was announced the country would be going into lockdown. He had ridden for 20 days straight and only had about 330km to reach Bluff and complete the journey.
However, Burns said it was the responsible thing to do to end the trip and he drove back to Blenheim from Wanaka the next day.
"After doing a lot of research on Covid-19 alert levels after talking to my wife ... personally and professionally and it's just added up to pull the pin and come back.
