“Lots of fun riding the old rail trail. The country side can be a bit bleak in parts and in others the view across the mountains is spectacular. We had electric bikes which I would recommend , not for hills but your on holiday right ! A few nice cafe and a great pub along the way. We rode the one day from Auripo to Clyde. Great fun”
