This country roads loop from Waipawa via Argyll and Otane in Central Hawkes Bay, takes in beautiful hill scenery along the 38kms length.

The weather forecast proved to be correct – a beautiful sunny day, no wind and a little crisp. Ten riders in total. Geoff mooted the route from Waipawa to Hatuma via Farm Road and Waipukurau, along mainly quiet, undulating country roads, with no big hills. Farmlands and gentle hills, with wide vistas. The tops of the ranges were covered in cloud, so we missed out on seeing the snow. Good to see the grass greening up again after the recent drought.
