An exciting day on the Wellington trails! Pete and I woke to a great day (ie. no rain) and decided to take advantage. We found a nearby cycle shop and headed there to rent bikes and check out the local cycling tracks. There was everything from Erinn-friendly beginner and intermediate single tracks to “you’ve got to be kidding me” extreme tracks! It started out a bit nerve racking for both of us as the trails were incredibly narrow and tightly wrapped around cliff faces (gulp) but we slowly found our groove and ended up having a most excellent day! The beautiful scenery, the lush surroundings, the little waterfalls that we crossed – absolute perfection! Check out this video, which shows part of the trail that we covered (please note - that is not me on the bike!!):
