One of my sisters, a friend and I went cycling today. We rode the Rail Trail from Alexandra to Clyde, then came back via the River Track alongside the Clutha River. It was over 20 kms and lots of fun. The photos are on the River Track, which was shaded for most of the way - thank goodness, as today's high was around 32 deg C.
Great photos Dianne. @pitasmum and I are cycling the trail next week with our menfolk. Have been umming and ahhing abiout whether to cyclecthis way or along the trail. Would you recommend the river track or the rail trail for cyclists who don't have a lot of experience?
@deliad The river track is very pretty, but a little challenging - I managed it ok, walking only one small hill after mucking up a gear change. I'm not that proficient, but at my own pace managed it nicely (i.e. didn't fall off). Certainly more interesting than the rail trail at this point. Hope you enjoy the trail - we did it a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope the weather cools a little for you!
