🔸 A few from the Hauraki Rail Trail (the really nice section between Waihi & Paeroa via the Karangahake Gorge). This is pretty classic local outing on good bike paths with the opportunity for a coffee in Paeroa before you ride back to Waihi. It's a good one for a bit of mining & rail history too. Not quite the Andes, but good to get the legs spinning!

🔸 This little kingfisher/kōtare kept us company during self isolation in the camper van outside Hana's parents house. It always perched on the same branch overlooking the estuary and as the tide went out would dive down and catch crabs for lunch. Along with tuis, fantails, wood pigeons, herons and wax eyes it's been really to see native NZ birdlife doing so well here.

🔸 Hard to believe it's three months since we returned to New Zealand and almost immediately went onto nearly 5 weeks of lockdown. We passed the first fortnight in self isolation in a camper van outside Hana's parents house, and since have spent most of our time working in a kiwifruit packhouse 🥝. Of course we've kept our legs spinning when we could, including short local rides under lockdown, and longer rides when we got rare days off from work. The Karangahake Gorge/Hauraki Rail Trail was one such burn, and a real pleasure on an unloaded @otsocycles Voytek.

🔸 Some scenes from the Carretera Austral & our last day cycling in South America before we stopped in Coyhaique, packed our bikes and bags and returned to NZ amid the global chaos of covid-19. On the 23rd of March we landed back in Auckland, NZ, 36 hours before lockdown started. .
