Fri, Dec 16, 2011 - 19.09 mi [Cycling] Paihia to Russell via Wiatangi, Harura & Opua

Fri, Dec 16, 2011 - 19.09 mi [Cycling] 19.09 mi in 01:47:55 hours at 10.61 mi/h on Hire Hire. [Cycling] Cysle from Paihia across the bridge to Waitangi for an early morning round of golf after which I continued up the hill and across to the harura falls. I then looped back to Paihia and headed up the mian road to Opua from where the ferry took me across the bay and I cycled up to Russell. Not a long ride but with 1831 feet of elevation it was tough

.

3 Miles : This is the 11th hole at Waitangi Golf Club where
I stopped for a quick round mid ride !

4 Miles : The road from Waitangi goes uphill and across the side
of Mount Blelisoe  

5 Miles : A nice view across the bay before entering the forest
across to Harura.

6 miles : Deep in the forest on my way to the Harura falls
There were lots of Lorkeets flying about but sadly none
were friendly enough to let me get a picture of them.



14 Miles : The ferry across the Bay from Opua

19 Miles : The view down to Longbeach from Russell
well worth the ride !
