Auckland Cycle Touring Association
Karangahake
and Martha Mine
23 March, 2008
The
"official" ride today was supposed to be from Kumeu, with no fixed
destination. But some adventurous types decided to go to
Karangahake instead.
Here they are in the carpark before setting off through the tunnel.
This is at the eastern end of the just over kilometre long tunnel .
Meaningful discussions at the Waikino Railway Station.
Of
course, there is a nice coffee shop in the station.
But it looks like it was not only the café that was open.
The Martha Mine at Waihi.
Margaret
is probably smiling knowing that, if a tyre did need changing,
Bryan was on the ride.
Lunch at the Martha.
Eagle
eyed viewers will have noticed that Pelham is fixing another flat
- his 2nd out of 3 for the day.
