Today's little bike ride became a gruelling slog when the surface of the Pipeline Track turned into deep sand that I foolishly thought would soon turn back into solid ground.

It didn't.

I eventually managed to exit to Rama Road and go home on the road.

A sandy track with deep ruts from motor vehicles.

At least at one part there were good views.

View across green bushes to sea and distant islands.
