Paperback, 304 pages, colour. 2013. Excellent condition
Nga Haerenga - the New Zealand Cycle Trails is full of useful information on the different trails - how to get there, what you will see, level of difficulty, things to take, places to eat and places to stay.
There is fascinating background information on each area - its history and the local flora and fauna - as well as on the ride itself.
There is also a highly practical section full of advice on choosing the right bike, gear to take, cell phone coverage in the different areas, weather and the best times of year for each trail, environmental care and useful websites.
Written by New Zealand's top cycling writer, the book is aimed at family groups and first-time cyclists as well as more experienced groups. It's accompanied by colour photos, elevation profiles and maps of each trail.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Hello 👋 I’m looking to practice building websites and enhancing existing ones that could use a refresh. If you’d like a website for your business or want to improve an existing one, feel free to reach out!
I do work full-time, so my availability may be a bit limited, but if the project is something straightforward and within my skillset, I’d be happy to do it free of charge.
Let me know if you're interested!
