RAIL TRAIL
We arrive at Little River where we will begin our long bike to Motukarara. Everyone is full of energy and excitement while waiting for the parents to arrive back from dropping their cars off at our destination.
Wendy sends the first group off, then the second, now the third and finally the fourth group, which was my group. We cycle next to a row of trees, then alongside Lake Ellesmere. We listen to the birds squawking as we went pass.
The rail trail had a few challenging obstacles on the way to Motukarara, there were gates and very narrow bridges that unexpectedly dropped at the end of each bridge. We have a little bit more biking to do before we reach the spot that we will have lunch at.
The area we were going to eat our lunch at had a massive rock that was possible to climb. My friends and I climbed to the top of the rock and looked out over Lake Ellesmere. The sights were incredible, so we went back down to the bottom of the rock to grab our cameras then made our way back up the steep rock to take so photos.
After that Charlise and I jumped back on our bikes and finished the rail trail, passing amazing scenery and being the first girls to cross
the finish line. The weather being so hot and barely any shade we were exhausted.
