Well done. I can say that the ride TO Paeroa is surprisingly easier than the opposite direction. Having ridden from Paeroa on a family ride some years ago, our then 7 and 8 yr olds complained of being tired. So they did the return leg in the car with Grandma... and we all found out how much easier, as we coasted much of the way, where we had been steadily pedalling in the opposite direction! 😀😂🤣

Hi Mark, Thanks for your story.
