3rd July 2015 the U3A Cycle Group cycled over the Matapihi Rail Bridge.

Parking outside Harvey Normans in Owens Road we looked at a notice in the carpark that said you may be towed away so we moved and left the area  for the shoppers.



10 cyclists set off down Matapihi Road along the concrete cycleway/footpath, past Omanu Golf Club and down past Kiwifruit Orchards arriving at the end of the road. Stopped for a break and a photo session.
 Before travelling over the rail bridge, someone said wouldn't it be great if a train came along. Then we heard the train's horn and the train travelled on the tracks beside us as we were on the bridge. On the return we took a road on the left which lead us around in a loop and back over a one way railway bridge to the start.

We all had coffee and said our goodbyes.
