So I rode the Hauraki Rail Trail in 2018 and again this year.
It would be much more fun on a gravel bike compared to the 29″ hardtail I rode the last two times.
It’s close to Auckland, is a fun dayride with a list of historical highlights along the way and a number of great eating spots too.
Plus you can start and finish with a nice soak in hot pools!
Have fun.
