Waipawa to Waipukarau then a loop on the cycleway.
This was a pleasant if not scenic ride.At the Station cafe we had a lovely morning coffee and lunch. We had to double back on the way home as the swing bridge had been washed away.

MTB ride Rotorua, Sulphur Point and some forest tracks.
I had to drop the car off to the garage so took the opportunity to ride to the first via Sulphur Point. Did my favourite track Paddy's Run and some of Homeward Bound and the last bit of Old Chevy. Then coffee with the Rinklys before riding back to collect…

Seddon to Lake Grassmere on Whale trail

Geraldine 28km loop
This was one of those rides that was a lovely ride but the scenery didn't have that wow factor. It was a great mix of roads from a 2 short stints on the main road to tiny gravel roads with grass growing up the middle.

Cave 38km loop
The weather wasn't as nice today. Overcast and cold, so I'm not sure if it was the weather or just the ride wasn't as good as the others. If I died it again I'd do it in the reverse direction. I think it would be better for the hills that…

Cave 42km Loop taking in Moa Pass Rd
This was a lovely ride, which involved riding Moa Pass Rd, just because of the name. The rest of the ride was lovely, old stone buildings and bridges through beautiful farmland.
