.

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 !
