Over 10 000 people ride and enjoy the rail trail each year but too many ride each section without stopping to enjoy the side-trips.

This compact illustrated guide packed with useful facts, cross-sections, easy-to-digest information and suggested side trips will enhance your experience on the trail. A book to buy before the trip and to use as you do the trail.

The first section explains why Central Otago is so special, with an overview of natural history – geology, climate, plants and animals. Photos help bikers identify the common plants and animals. The human history is equally fascinating – the first travellers, the squatters, the discovery of gold and the building of the Otago Central Railway on which the trail is built.

The cross-sections of each part of the trail along with maps of main towns and surrounding areas make it easy for ‘trail trippers’ to plan their movements. Includes tips for good lunch spots, fun quiz questions to enliven these breaks, locations of ‘loos.’….

Also web-site links, an “Events Calendar” for those who want to link their trip to regional activities, hints for taking better photos and biking tips.

This pocket-sized guide is so full of useful facts and easy-to-digest information that it should find a home in the pocket of every track visitor.

Question: When I connect the mini dvi/mini displayport adapter to my mac my wifi signal drops or completely stops working.

Answer: There are several things that can cause these symptoms. Try the following:

1.) Ensure the adapter is connected and straight, not being bent or angled in any way. Having the Mac on a stand which causes the adapter to hang freely can cause issues as well.

2.) Try swapping the cable connected to the adapter.

3.) Try changing the channel of the wireless signal on your router. It may take several attempts to find one that works for your network. Some that have been reported to work the best are: Channel 1, 5, 6, and 8.
