Well its been a quiet week, but an awesomely busy and exciting weekend.
Friday morning arrived at Matamata Motor Trimmers to finally get the name on the bus.
It was a great morning, he did a wonderful job. Finally remembered to take some during pics.....

Then I drove across to Te Aroha to meet with the engineering company who are going to make the kayak loader for Fredrock Cafe. I was a bit early so I decided to go for a bit of a blat on the mountain bike. Mike
at Cullen Engineering suggested I take the Te Aroha to Paeroa Rail Trail, nice
and flat and just next door to where I was parked.
I grabbed a
couple of One Square Meal bites, a water bottle and headed off.
Not too far,
I thought, just out for half an hour and then back. Not counting on the
beautiful day, flat as ride and the thought that I need to get back into some
exercise and start getting out to see the sights. This after all is what this
is all about!
It was an awesome ride, bit of a bit more than I should have but managed to get there and back.
 |
| Lots of cute little bridges |
 |
| Long straights |
 |
| Loo stop and shelter |
 |
| Half way there, not all I have to do is get back.... |
 |
| Great sign board giving the history |
Once I got back to Te Aroha, the guys were doing the final bits of measure up on the bus, so I managed to get some pics there too!
 |
| Finding the struts |
 |
| They run lengthways guys.... |
Then a trip back to Walton for awesome pork and prunes done in the slow cooker!
Its great to be doing these things now instead of just thinking about them and seeing some great NZ countryside.
