Ruapehu Cycle Tour

To keep myself busy while Helen is out at sea, I decided to go for a bike ride. Thanks to Waitangi Day (New Zealand's national holiday) and some clever rearranging of my four day work week I managed to have a five day weekend. My friend Craig and I, organised a 4-5 cycle tour taking in parts of the Mountains to the Sea national cycle way.
