From mountain to sea on two wheels

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 25 July 2025

After the 2008 global financial crisis, one of the recovery programmes was the Mountain to sea cycle trail.

Almost 20 years later, the penultimate section, Te Hangaruru, has just been completed.

Great Rides co-ordinator Lynley Twyman chats to Jesse.

Lynley is wearing sunglasses and a bike helmet. She is standing on the right hand side of the photo and pointing down a grass cycle trail. You can see her bike lying against a grass bank in the background.
