Tour of Wairarapa

I recently completed a 9-day tour of the Wairarapa which had some very interesting rides incorporated in it. Some of the ride highlights included:

•  Ride to Featherston and then over the Rimutuka Rail Trail and then back to Lake Ferry. We got a ride to the western side of the Rimutuka Rail trail so that we could return back over the rail trail.
• Lake Ferry to Cape Palliser and back 
• Lake Ferry to Martinborough
• Martinborough to Masterton climbing Admirals Hill.
• Masterton to Riversdale
• Riversdale to Castlepoint.
• Castlepoint back to Masterton. 

 The highlights for me included the ride from Lake Ferry out to Cape Palliser and the ride over the Admirals hill returning from Martinborough to Masterton. Admirals Hill is a gem. It was a reasonably hard ride but very scenic especially on such a brilliant day.
