Halfway Hut to Dunstan Arm Rowing Club: 10.7km, grade 2-3 We thought we had completed the major climb on the ride but after halfway hut the trail climbed again, this time without the aid of the switchbacks. Luckily once you reached the peak, the ride was downhill again all the way to the edge of the lake where there were plenty of places to stop and have a swim or just picnic beside the lake. Although we were eager to race ahead at this point, the trail was narrow in places and it was a balancing act between letting it rip and proceeding with caution. The rest of the ride followed an undulating track along the river until we reached the Dunstan Arm Rowing Club and the Clyde Dam, NZ’s third largest hydro dam. Dunstan Arm Rowing Club to Clyde Heritage Precinct: 3.5km, grade 1 The ride back into Clyde was along the roadside past the lower reaches of the dam and into what is considered “old Clyde”. It had been an incredible day, the temperature had hit the 30’s and we had been wowed with the variety on the trail and the views along the way. We finished the day with a well deserved ice cold beer in the tavern next door to Bike It Now! A perfect end to a perfect day. The Dunstan trail offered a real variety in both terrain and scenery and should be on everone's to do list. The trail can be completed in either direction but after speaking to someone who had biked it both ways, they recommended starting in Cromwell and finishing in Clyde. We found that most of the people on the track were biking in that direction so the chance of running into people biking the other way was less, however for safety sake it is imperative to “keep left” while biking when visibility is limited. Above: Looking back towards Cromwell, you can see the stonework faces of the Cairnmuir slide, which was designed to protect the river from a major land slide, which could overwhelm the Clyde Dam, a short distance downstream. 54//WHERE ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS/#229
