We are going cycling. I found a list of cycling trails around Kaiapoi and thought we’d give the Pegasus Trail a try. Confusingly the Pegasus Walkway and the Pegasus Bay Trail point in different directions

Anyway, this is the start of the Pegasus (Bay) Trail

The first part is through a lovely bit of forest, it’s still early morning and still quite nippy here when not in sunlight

But once in sunlight it’s really nice

Love these trees

Kiwis and signs, it’s just a not a good combination. Who of sound mind would come up with a map that has both “8 Pegasus Trail” and “11 Pegasus Trail”?

At least this sign is clear

And the trail itself is great

I never would have expected a coastguard in Kaiapoi, but there is

Some people just refuse to follow the rules

The Kaiapoi River Queen, maybe one day we’ll give this a try as well

The Kaiapoi River

The Pegasus Trail was a bit short so we ended up doing the Passchendaele Memorial Path, Rangiora Woodend Path and Jill Creamer Trail as well. All in all 30 km. This is in Rangiora where they still have some lovely old buildings. Next time we should do the Rakahuri Trail and then we’ve seen everything there is to see around here
