Much like the run to the <\/a>Airport<\/a><\/g> this started as an idea on holiday. Karl mentioned he had always wanted to ride from his house, over the Rail Trail<\/a> and around the coast back to Wainui. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added in that it would be cool to ride a bit further to the pub in Petone to finish off with a beer (half serious\/half joking) and the plan was complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On December 28th, after a very bad nights sleep, I woke up at 4:30, made myself porridge and coffee while I packed my bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We set off from Karls House just after 6am<\/g>,<\/g> and arrived at the Sprig and Fern Tavern just under 8 hours and 112km later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is some of the highlights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
