Ok first internet in a couple of days so here’s some photos.

Pretty sketchy swing bridge I had to cross to get on the Centre of the North Island track.

Crossing this was fun because while I had my bike raised up I had to shove it over every one of those cross bars and the way I could do that was with my thigh. But sometimes it wasn’t my thigh …

And it’s a swing bridge so it’s wobbly as, and I wasn’t holding on, so it was shaking constantly. Good times!

Speaking of Centre of the North Island, here it is.
I got to Pureora Village at about 2:30 and had basically nothing to do. So I wandered around for a bit. Felt like I was in a state park or something, super quiet, well groomed, pleasant as can be. And the sky kept getting better and better.

Timber Trail!

It’s mostly forest so there’s not all that much to take pictures of, but there were loads of bridges including some big suspension bridges!

Maramataha Bridge! Third longest suspension bridge in New Zealand!

Ok that’s it for now. Today I’m going rail karting so I’ll have some good photos from that hopefully!

Also, obligatory #CycleTouring #TimberTrail #NewZealand
