点评:We were very pleased to have found Mr. Hugo shop, which proved to be a great way to see several wineries near Maipu. They were helpful all around, and were bilingual which proved to be more helpful than anticipated.
The day of the tour, the shop provided some winery recommendations as well as lunch stops, all of which were noted on a map they provided. The map isn’t necessarily to scale, but the route is simple as it is effectively on a single road with limited turns. Good for beginners and experienced riders alike. There are bike paths or sidewalks for nearly the entire way, with exceptions for a short bit on the return leg, but cars on this road seem quite used to cyclists and provided ample room.
Bikes do have baskets or rear racks, but bringing a backpack or small sling is recommended (if not to bring water, then to transport wine back). With six bottles in tow, my wife & I found our two sling bags and one basket to be just enough.
We chose to have lunch at Tempus Alba along with some wine tastings, but be mindful of their kitchen hours (close in mid afternoon).
The only ding, and reason for 4 stars instead of 5, would be the bikes themselves.
Bikes are basic but effective for slow rolling. They’re no-frills beach cruisers, but do have quick release seat adjustments, limited gears, and have a basket or rear rack. The issue we had was the shifting cables needed some adjustment, as we could only access two of the rear cogs and only one of the front. This was a minor inconvenience, but worth noting. The shop would have corrected this before we departed if we had noticed, but it wasn’t discovered until several kilometers away.
Ultimately the price was right and we would rent from Hugo again if we found ourselves in the area.
翻译:我们很高兴找到了Mr. Hugo shop,事实证明这是参观迈普附近几家酒庄的好方法。他们在各方面都很有帮助,而且会说双语,事实证明比预期的更有帮助。
游览当天,商店提供了一些酒庄推荐以及午餐站,所有这些都在他们提供的地图上注明。该地图不一定按比例绘制,但路线很简单,因为它实际上是在一条转弯有限的道路上。适合初学者和经验丰富的骑手。几乎整条路都有自行车道或人行道,除了回程的一小段,但这条路上的汽车似乎已经习惯了骑自行车的人,并提供了充足的空间。
自行车确实有车筐或后架,但建议带上背包或小背带(如果不带水,那就把酒运回去)。拖着六瓶酒,我和我的妻子发现我们的两个单肩包和一个篮子就足够了。
我们选择在 Tempus Alba 享用午餐和品酒,但要注意他们的厨房营业时间(下午中午关门)。
唯一的问题,也是 4 星而不是 5 星的原因,是自行车本身。
自行车是基本但有效的慢速滚动。它们是简洁的沙滩巡洋舰,但确实有快速释放座椅调节装置、有限的齿轮,并有一个篮子或后架。我们遇到的问题是变速线需要一些调整,因为我们只能接触到两个后齿轮和一个前齿轮。这是一个小小的不便,但值得注意。如果我们注意到的话,这家商店会在我们离开之前纠正这个问题,但直到几公里外才被发现。
最终价格是合适的,如果我们发现自己在该地区,我们会再次从 Hugo 租用。
