We had a lift to Paeroa with our bikes and cycled back via the Hauraki Railtrail. Paeroa is where they make the N.Z pop called L&P. It was hot today, clear blue skies and the tarmac was wet under our tyres and sticking to them. Only 18 miles done and we took most of the day, so we had a nice relaxed pace. What a relaxed start to what will be many miles of cycling here.bWe stopped off at the station cafe at Waikino, this was the very cafe that Loretta stopped off at on our way to her parents home when she met us from the airport.
Lovely cycling today and now champing at the bit to get started on the touring for real. We drive North on Thursday and will then start our quest south from there on Friday. Loretta will be joining us with her car as back up for North Island only. We will take turns to drive the backup vehicle although the deal is that Loretta will do the whole North Island end to end ride. Her mum, Jan, will join us at Hamilton for the last half of the North Island end to end making now a team of four.
