Nelson and the Great Taste Cycle Trail

We cycled 55km of the Great Taste Trail starting from Kohatu and travelling anti-clockwise through Spooners tunnel and down the valley to Nelson. 

It is a fun ride, especially on an e-bike.😀. We hired ours from Gentle Cycling and they were a very informative team, driving us from Tahunanui Beach to our starting point far up the valley. 

Here's a 90sec video on the Relive App. https://www.relive.cc/view/vXOdpwzE8kO

It was overcast and raining during the drive up to our starting point but by the time we unloaded and finished our safety briefing the rain had stopped.  And it remained dry for the rest of the day. 

Spooners tunnel, at 1352m long was very cool!  

The pies for lunch at Wakefield bakery were excellent. Perfect temperature and held their shape to the very end.  Side note, a mate recently suffered blistering burns to his hands after a molten party pie incident so please "Check your temps". 

A short boardwalk at the end, along the beach, was very picturesque.
