South and east on the roads near Havelock North; Chocolate Fish Hill is a challenge which the ebikers will make short work of.

Another chance to get lost with Mr Lyn.

04 Nov Cycle from Waipawa to Waipukurau
Go along the cycleways between these two towns – the suspended bridge is always a treat. No hills.

A road trip in the Tikokino area – a bit of hill work.
09 Dec Clover Patch, Kaweka Forest Park
Will we get there this time? Bring your contorta -slaughtering tools!
