    A nicely paved trail that was once the Island's railway; the ground is nice and even to ride along, and the scenery is magnificent. A few more signs directing you to tourist points would be handy, as you often miss the turn-offs, but they do provide information about the areas. This would be great to cycle of tip to tip: maybe next time.
