22nd Mar Helensville to the west

Helensville in the rain
I left my sister's house at 8.30 and decided tofollow her suggestion of riding the cycle trail that parallels the NW motorway.   Its a great idea and I wish more councils would follow suit (Dunedin for instance)  It was a leaden sky with occasional fine misty. rain. I got to Helensville just after 1 and wanted to press on.  The info office showed a backpackers for $30 but it was quite a lot more. There was no real alternative. I could have gone back to the hotpools close by but didn't fancy riding back 20 minutes after a hot swim so I had a spa instead. I slept quite well but tomorrow I face lots of up/down bits.  The forecast is fot fine weather (unusually).
