_The Evening Post_, 19 March 1925:
SLIP ON RIMUTAKA HILL ROAD

(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

MASTERTON, 19th March.
The #Rimutaka Hill road was blocked an at 2.30 this afternoon through a slip coming down where a Public Works gang was widening the road. One car, with the assistance of ropes, got round the edge of the slip this evening, but it is doubtful if heavy traffic will get through until to-morrow night or possibly later. It is expected that the obstruction will not be removed for 48 hours.

Awesome bike ride today in the Upper Hutt!

The Remutaka Rail Trail is a stunning disused railway line that has been converted into a very fun (and at times very fast) bike trail with a suspension bridge and a bunch of long dark tunnels. Highly recommended!
