Kaimai Mamaku Forest Park, Te Aroha
Pentax K20D • ¹⁄₈₀ sec • ƒ / 8,0 • 34 mm • ISO 100 • smc PENTAX-DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL II Te Aroha West, Waikato, New Zealand Despite the nearby hills and mountains of the Kaimai Mamaku Forest Park the road we cycled on today from Te Aroha to Te Poi was mostly flat. But then this is the reason why I wanted to do the southbound trip - latest when I reach the South Island I will have to do some serious climbs on our bikes, but until then I can use the kilometers in the saddle as training so that the climbs won't be as hard on me as they would have if I had started northbound from Christchurch. That way for the first half of my journey I can use the time to get used to the climate before taking on any higher mountains and steep climbs. uuid="8148CFE2-7264-412B-8D7A-6F2E3379661E" id="New Zealand lilleulven.com 20130116_100957_NZ_Waikato_Te Aroha West__www.LilleUlven.com.DNG New Zealand North Lilleulven.com"
