A shot of James cycling through the Whakarewarewa Forest on the southern outskirts of Rotorua.  We had a good morning, missed most of the rain and took in some good tracks. James was awarded a special prize: his was made the warden of the car lollies for showing great courage in taking on a few "steep" downhill bits and demonstrating mastery of his breaks. The Whakarewarewa Forest is great, easily as good as out west Auckland, I can't wait to get back there again with some good weather and some more adventurous trails.
