Jesse was keen to go Mountain biking, and the weather was perfect. The Whakarewarewa Forest is 5 minutes from home. Started at the Puarenga stream track, then up Nice Road and rode Chinese Menu. Down be Rude not to, up the Lions Trail. I walked up the hill on Katore Rd.

Down Tokorangi and into Turkish Delight and the Soakhole. Challenge Roadside was fun. Jesse's phone jumped out of his bag, luckily I was riding last, saw it and picked it up. Back up the road to Dipper, out through The Creek, Mad if you Dont, another gentle ride on the other side of the Puarenga stream track, and then home.

Managed to take Jesse to Kuirau Park, put his feet in hot water, and explore the thermal area.

The cooler afternoon allowed the steam to show up more. Great colours, lots of hot water, boiling mud, and of course the smell...

On Monday, our next mountain bike ride was shorter, as Jesse was going White Water Rafting later in the day.We started at Yellow Brick Rd, up the forest road to Pondy New. Onto Rollercoaster, then Chop Suey. The rest of Chinese menu again. A rest and refill of water at the top of Red Tank, down Dragon's Tail, Mad if you dont, and finished with Puarenga again. Fun, fast, and even I kissed the trail a couple of times. No broken bones!
