On Wednesday Lester Perry, Dave Meikle and I went for a little ride in the Pureora Forest to shoot some photos for a new regular feature in Spoke. Well it was more of an adventure than a ride. That river in front of us was once a stream, but rain the night before had turned it into a five foot deep river.

It took an hour and a bit one way and around half an hour on the way back. But the trails on the other side were well worth it…
