From our house we can see the cyclists heading along the Cycle Trail which runs from our town through a river gorge to the next small town, about 25 kilometres away, and from there branches out to other trails which lead further afield. It is usually called the 'rail trail' hereabouts, because it starts at the old railway station and follows the track for a kilometre or so, before keeping to one side of the river the rest of the way. It is an "easy" trail as New Zealand bike trails go, and is much used, especially in the warmer months.
Today I walked along it for a while and took a few photos. Strictly speaking, dogs are not allowed, even on a leash, but Manu came too.

We haven't had much rain lately...
