As it’s a long week-end and a fine Saturday morning we decided to get up and travel over the hill to the Hutt Valley and cycle the Rimutaka Rail Trail.

We have been saying for some time that we must do this ride.

Following an old railway line there is a steady incline, we cycled to the summit tunnel, but decided to turn around and head back as it had started to rain slightly.

Thecycle back although down hill was nearly as hard as the cycle up due to the strong head wind.

On the way back home the weather changed and we drove through a very heavy downpour. Lucky we didn’t carry on cycling otherwise we would have got very wet.
