Thanks for the ride everyone, was a great one!

Good ride today all.
Wondered where you had got to Din.
Those roads are good but i see what you mean about the amount of crap on them.
Good for a change but i will stick to our nice clean roads up here and what is it with all the cops down there, lucky (or unlucky) to see one up here.
Did have a laugh at the cow cocky with the cuppa on his bike, all class.

Maybe do Mangawhi and some extra back roads next week. Any thoughts??

Oh ZC the other half will be there next week.

Thanks for the ride everyone.. It was very enjoyable, even with the extra crap on the roads..

I hadn't done that road before, so it was nice to see some new scenery.

I'll have to join you guys again sometime, prob with one of the kids on the back, to give the wife a little bit of a break.

Cheers all.

Good to ride with you guys again
Fucking hated that road .... I don't mind a bit of gravel but that was insane, no fun for me =/
Farmer with the cuppa, hilarious ....
see you next week ....

I think from what has been posted we are all in agreement with the condition of that road.
We will just do our normal roads next week. I guess we are just spoilt.

22 is in a mess at the moment (really don't know what the road crews are thinking), however, there are quite a few very good roads off it that are in good shape. I was down the line this weekend otherwise I'd have come along. It was a shame Din had to go early as I'm sure he would've shown you.

It made for some very suspect cornering. At the end we were going slow as you weren't sure of what was in the corner.
At least Din warned us first, but i didn't think it would be that bad.

I thought it was my riding that was bad not the roads lol

the farmer seemed to be staying upright

Has anyone been down Ahuroa Road which goes from the Puhoi Pub through to West Coast Road (aka, onto Woodcocks). It looks like a real back road to get to the Puhoi Pub.

I checked a couple of maps, and the road doesn't even appear on that many. Trust Google Maps, it has it.

Is it a sealed road? Gravel?
