Jesse Mulligan had a little bit to say recently about the Ida Valley and it’s rail trail produce amongst other things, you can read more here http://aucklandfoodblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/central-otago-goodies.html I’ve never been to the Wanaka cinema but will certainly have to check it out and try some of those cookies.
Winter on the trail
The weather of the past month has seen some snow, a hoar frost and now some really beautiful still days. We’ve had some intrepid travellers out on the Otago Central Rail Trail recently and the consensus is that it’s very sloppy in parts due to the snow having thawed and made things boggy. The Oturehua … Continue reading
Adverts
We’ve been developing a few adverts that we’ll start to circular via various media. They’re worth a look for a giggle.
Renovation

Consents are in with the council, the new roof is going on this week, the double glazing has been ordered and we’ve even chosen a colour scheme…. whewww!!! The new Ford transit is on order from Ford NZ (we’ve ordered the silver one if colour is important to … Continue reading

We’re privileged to be able to technology sponsor Nick Woods as he undertakes an extreme John McGlashan challenge to run, bike and paddle the length of the South Island. When we heard what Nick and his Dad Denis were going to do we thought it would be great to be able to follow their progress … Continue reading

T-shirts!

The fabric and cut is great and we reckon the brand looks really smart. Check them out on the merchandise page http://shebikeshebikes.co.nz/otago-central-rail-trail/t-shirts/
Riding in Tekapo
Wow! We’ve just returned from a family holiday at Lake Tekapo. The goal for the week was to get away with the family and get in some good training at the same time. We left on the Sunday and to make it all interesting, Carol cycled Thompsons track (part of the Gold Rush Course) from … Continue reading
From the mouths of babes
On Saturday, Carol was due to have a haircut in Ranfurly (49 Km away) so the plan was that I’d head off earlier on the road bike and meet her and the boys there and Carol would ride home. At some stage while getting her hair cut, Carol asked Fynn (our 7yr old) if Dad … Continue reading
