This 45kms circular route starts at Clive riverbank and follows the coastal pathway to Black Bridge before turning inland to Havelock North and the perimeter of Hastings. It takes in the coastal scenery and then through farmland and orchards, stopping at Serendipity Café for a refreshment break. The return route is via the Hawkes Bay Showgrounds and Whakatu. At this time of year, the fruit trees are in blossom. For a little bit of fun, you may wish to ride the BMX track at Romanes Drive, Havelock North.
