January 8, 2022  |  What a fantastic day!  We ticked off one of our 'to dos' off our holiday list today.  Despite a forecasted 30 degrees, we headed off early to Cromwell via car with the bikes on the back.  We then hit the Dunstan Trail from Bannockburn and rode back to Clyde.  The trail has been open for less than a year, and definitely one we've been looking forward to trying.

It is a fantastic trail.  There were a couple of challenging zig-zagging steep hill climbs - definitely made the downhill run on the way down much appreciated!  Otherwise, it was a really fun trail with great tracks, bridges built specially into the rock faces, and some beautiful scenery.

We headed through without the boys as we weren't sure what it would be like for Austin (glad we didn't take him!) and Hayden wasn't too keen - although he would have really enjoyed it!  However, he probably would have got somewhat annoyed with all my photo stops, lol!  Hayden and Dad biked in from the Clyde end and met us a couple of kilometres from the end.

In the end, biking time of 2 hours 50 minutes, a total of 3 hours 40 minutes on the track, and 35km ridden!
