Our default camping spot at Lake Dunstan, been her often<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Cromwell, here we have the puncture in the Jimny tyre repaired, again!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I decide to cycle the Lake Dunstan<\/a> Trail<\/a> while Rachel visits the local pool. This is just past the quarry on the southern side of Lake Dunstan<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The trail goes over the property of the Carrick Winery & Restaurant<\/a>, no doubt it attracts some customers<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I’m now past Cornish Point<\/a> and things are going fine, except for the fact that my rear tyre seems to be slowly deflating, luckily I brought my hand pump<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The trail can be cycled in both directions, I’m going Cromwell to Clyde, only occasionally is there oncoming traffic, like here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

They put a lot of effort into making the track possible along the south side of the lake<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The only real steep bit in the track, I was being overtaken left and right but that was by cheaters: people with electric bicycles, they don’t count<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Nice views getting higher up the mountain<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Cromwell Clyde Road on the other side of the lake<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

View from the viewpoint, my cap is out of shape<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Another view in the direction of Cromwell<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

It’s mostly downhill from here, about 20 km left to go, that’s maybe an hour more<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The views are still great but my rear tyre isn’t, I’ve had to inflate it 5 times now in the past hour, that doesn’t bode well<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Nice day for water skiing<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Hugo Bridge, this is where I spent an hour trying to fix the leak in my rear tube but it was impossible, I still don’t know what the problem was with that tube but ONLY when it was IN the tyre would it deflate, NOT when outside of the tyre, making finding the leak undoable. Extremely frustrating experience. It meant I had to WALK the remaining 20 km or so to Clyde. Not much fun. \ud83d\ude41<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
