Green Corridor Opening

Exciting evening.  The new Green Corridor from Government Gardens to Kuirau Park was officially opened.

The green corridor goes down Hinemoa, Tutanekai, and Haupapa streets.  The urchins couldn't wait to try it.

Erik, Oscar and Anneke started off at the Redwoods, with a group of friends, and cycled into town.  The event started at the Arts Village, lots of green going on.

Anneke rode ahead with Tom and Lewis.

 There was a massive turnout, of all ages, and different sizes of bikes.

  Erik and Oscar were in the "third wave".

Everyone gathered at the playground at Kuirau Park.

The Kapa Haka entertained.

The storm moved closer and the children played until it rained.

When it rained, the children relocated to the foot pools instead.

Waihi and Karangahake Gorge

Erik has had a tough time this week with work.  It's not every day you have to deal with a 11 Trillion Dollar lawsuit. I think he has worked none stop all week. 
It's Easter, so taking a break at Waihi, and seeing what the bike trail is like in Karangahake Gorge, following the old gold train track.  It was about 14kms round trip, and I managed it!  The tunnel is amazing, about 1km long, and in the dark, with minimal lighting. We have got to take the urchins on this track.
