This is going to be our second trial run, before our European tour.

The ride is again, not so much about the distance covered, but about the logistics of vlogging it.

This time we remembered to bring the drone with an sd card installed.

There is now getting to be quite a network of trails on the Hauraki Rail Trail. It originally started in Thames and went to Waihi.

Now there is a branch off at Kopu that goes around the coast to Kaiaua, and another that branches off at Paeroa and goes the Matamata via Te Aroha.

Today isn’t the day for us to cover the full trail, we just covered a small section from Paeroa to Waikino.

On our ride, we rode through a 1.1km tunnel and past some old gold mine batteries.

So why don’t you pop over to our video on YouTube to see how our trip went?

Below is a map of our route.
