I imagined riding out to Tangihana-a-Kupe would be pretty cruisy, but how wrong I was. The storm a few weeks back had destroyed much of the four wheel drive track. It was hard going in many places with deep loose shingle or sand. I had to walk quite a bit. It was a good challenge though, and I was reasonably happy with how I was able to deal with some pretty rough and rocky stuff.
It was overall a very enjoyable hour, although slow going to cover 8km.
