TA day 5: Auckland Airport to Paeroa

Distance 144km, Elevation Gain 806m


Unfortunately we lost our navigator and front wheel man last night to the dreaded saddle sores. Tom we will, and already are missing you!
An early start made for a relatively easy departure from South Auckland and then to Clevedon for second breakfast at market for-op. Awesome tucker. From there we took the coastal route through Kawakswa Bay up the only hill of the day, past Orere Point and on to Kaiaua for lunch. Compulsory pie and filled roll. Then onto Hauraki Rail Trail for a very pleasant roll to Paeroa. Longest ride yet at 144k.
