2 November
 |
| About to set off from Piropiro campsite |
 |
| Another of these magnificent bridges - they were very easy and stable to ride on. This is the Maramataha bridge, the longest (53m) and highest (141m) bridge on the trail |
 |
| Much of day 2 was on an old bush tramway - the Ellis and Burn tramway. There were lots of historic relics. Here we inspecting an old rail turntable. |
 |
| Owen on the Mangatukutuku bridge |
 |
| An interesting old rail spiral that we rode - first over the top bridge, then through a tunnel and out over the new bridge in the foreground. |
 |
| Shock! a motor bike on the trail, but it was OK, he is a maintenance worker and was heading in to clear some fallen trees |
 |
| Rest stop at the spiral |
 |
| Fantastic views |
 |
| Done! Much of this day was enjoyable downhill riding - we rode 42.5km in 4 hours 40 minutes, including all stops |
 |
| Packing up at the end of the ride, near Ongarue |
 |
| Back home cleaning the bikes! |
