Tuhaitara Costal Park Ride

21 January 2018


After a scorching Saturday of doing any errand we could think of that involved a place wit air conditioning, we were willing to venture outside Sunday after church. Ruben learned about a 60+ km bike path along the coast from Waikuku to Kaiapoi. Rumor was it was so well groomed and smooth that one might confidently push a frail elderly person in a wheelchair. That's my kind of ride. So off we went. It was indeed very smooth in most places. One big puddle to ford and some sand along the way, but all in all a good outing for a Sunday afternoon.








We came across a patch of these Alice in Wonderland-esque mushrooms.


He's not going to pick it, he is offering a comparison to his hand to gauge size. 

Near the end of our ride we took a break to see what was happening on Woodend Beach.

Woodend Beach at low afternoon tide has a long sand bar.
There was moderately rough surf, but it was shallow quite far out,
so lots of kids on boogie boards were enjoying the waves.

It was also nice to see lots of people just taking a Sunday afternoon stroll
along the hardpack beach.
