Chill gravel riding across Hauraki Rail Trail and the Waikato region 🇳🇿🚲

It was a big change going from the tough hills of Northland to the flat landscapes of the Waikato. But what it lacks in leg workouts, it makes up for with a chill ambient riding days with over 100km of off road trail rail with the Hauraki Rail Trail plus the Te Awa River Trail from Hamilton to Cambridge and rural countryside. 00:00 Intro 00:28 Kaiaua 02:15 Waitakaruru 03:12 Kopu 03:26 South of Thames 05:28 Hikutaia 05:52 Paeroa 06:24 NZ's greatest cultural icon 06:38 Te Aroha 08:35 Journey to Hamilton 11:45 Hamilton 12:42 Good George Brewery 13:05 Te Awa river trail 15:40 Cambridge 16:22 Karapiro Hydro 16:40 Riding on the Water 17:22 Country Roads 19:00 Arohena Campsite 20:35 Outtro #bikepacking #cycletour #visitnewzealand #cycling #touraotearoa
