Hawkes Bay NZ Water trail

Hwy 1, Taupo to Turangi, about 8am

View of Mt Tauhara (1088m), one of the many volcanoes in this interesting part of the North Island.

While the sun did come out before noon, today's ride was massive sidewinds, headwinds 15km out of Turangi, and gale force gusts that knocked me off my bike as I was pulling into town.

Also, wonderful views of Mt Tongariro and Mt Ngauruhoe in the national park.

People doing the Tongariro Crossing today would have "enjoyed" quite a gale up on top.

Unforgettable.
