Cromwell to Bannockburn Inlet: 7km, grade 2<br />

The trail wove along the banks of the river, lush with trees and vegetation; this<br />

section an easy meander along well formed trails. As we neared Bannockburn,<br />

we crossed under the bridge, and evidence of the areas wineries became<br />

visible as we biked alongside vineyards and olive groves. Make sure you give<br />

yourself plenty of time as there are numerous places you can stop along the<br />

way. Unfortunately it was still rather early in the morning for a wine, and also<br />

rather early in the ride.<br />

Bannockburn Inlet to Cairnmuir Gully: 11.3km, grade 2-3<br />

We reluctantly biked past Carrick Winery and onto the other side of Lake<br />

Dunstan and back towards Cromwell. As you turn away from Cromwell towards<br />

Clyde, the terrain becomes wild and stark, and this is where the engineering<br />

becomes evident.<br />

On the Dunstan Trail, looking out towards Clyde<br />
