Today I started across a bike & pedestrian-only cable bridge. After that, I biked along a one lane gravel road with no cars along the Motueka River for over 2 hours. Then I met up with a normal bridge and thus cars began, as well as the road widening. But, it was still gravel and not that many cars. Eventually it led to another small bridge called Peninsula Bridge, a one-lane cars no-trucks bridge made of wood and cables. Underneath it, is the famous swimming hole with a sandy beach and rope to jump in! The bike shop told me not to miss it and that it is a great way to cool off, but it wasn't that hot then so I only took off my shoes and got in. Following this the road became paved. That was almost up until Kaiteriteri, when the GTT trail arrows directed me into a mountain bike park! I don't think a bike loaded up with "luggage" should do this, but I did, including some sharp and steep switchbacks! It made for a fun way to finish and exited me at the Kaiteriteri Beach, where I'll spend 2 days swimming and hiking.
