Tag o rama!

As most of you know yesterday was Cams birthday. To celebrate this most auspicious occassion he thought a ride to the far away climes of the hutt valley would be appropriate

I think he was rather shocked to see so many riders and their gorgeous bikes takeover the car park at Waikanae New World
I had come over from the dark side (with a tag in hand that needed placing) and met the valley/welly riders at Haywards. we had a very nice ride over the Paekak and into Waikanae to meet all Cams new friends. I am no longer a Paekak virgin. I have now riden the hill from north to south and south to north WooHoo - Its a great peice of road - cant understand why i had been so intimidated of it. I can see why you coastites love it so much.

After the obligatory smoke/fuel up bullshit that seems to go on in any group ride, it was time to move leave Waikane. Traffic control was needed to get us all out of there. Down SH1
Back over the Paekak, Haywards then onwards to Whitemans Valley. To a great wee cafe that the coastites know and have claimed as their own.

Only problem was me and Katiepie got lost before we had even left SH2

But somehow we got found again we were hugely relieved to turn that corner and see our friends waiting on the side of the road. I just know they were not thinking - women navigators

and then it was time for the great convoy of men, women (katie and Viv - love your riding- Viv - you are FAST) and their machines to take over the whitmans valley road and get to the famous short straw cafe. It was as good as they said.

after the obligitory food/coffee, watch Cam blow out his candle it was back on ride again going over some very nice back roads to come out in Te Marua.
Thanks Sly for waiting at the intersections. I had no idea where we were riding

I also had no idea there were so many horses over that way, and they were all out playing on OUR road, and they didnt like the throaty rumble of all our machines. So we had to take it nice and easy. But - it was a nice and easy day, the sun shone, the sky was blue, it was warm. Winter seemed like many rides away

I turned right to play on my lovely Hill and the rest of the group turned left, and prob had another play on Paekak

Was great to get out and meet you all - old friends and new.

First pic is the new tag . I know there are 20 odd other ridres who know where this is. Race on

SV reports it as 88 Nikau Palm Road, just near the top of the hill looking South.

And yes I know my bike is facing the wrong way and in the ditch LOL It was the only place I could park it where it wouldn't fall over

Devo to confirm I have the right spot before the tag is claimed
