My virgin Segway experience.

Segway tour at Rochford Winery




I was invited to attend the Segway Tour launch at Rochford Winery as part of work and was given my five mins of adrenaline test riding(driving?!) a Segway. Boy. Is it a lot harder than it looks!

Boy. Is it a lot harder than it looks! <br/><br/>Fiona who runs the $140 tour + lunch with hubby Terry said to me it's all in your hips. You use your hip movement to bring yourself forwards, backwards and sideways. To get off when you're feeling wobbly, just jump off rather than force yourself to try and stabilize. <br/><br/>Easier said than done. I couldn't understand how all the men who looked much older than me could whiz around so easily. Obviously my balance isn't as fab as I thought it was. <br/><br/>I'm thinking of booking this experience in because one can do a Segway Tour in the morning, lunch at Rochford and then drive around the Valley for a delish lunch. Ping! I wonder which friends would be up for this!<span id='BB_SIGN_BEGIN'><img alt='BlogBooster-The most productive way for mobile blogging.
