    Best Waikato Ride...

    ...apart from bees and rubbish...

    This has to be one of the best rides you can do from Te Tron. About 230 k depending upon where in Te Tron you start from.

    You might have to watch out for certain random hazards though...f'rinstance:

    Came up behind an SUfuckingV towing a trailer. Just as I pulled out to pass, the load on the trailer came adrift and fell onto the road right in font of me. Somehow, I got through the mess without contact and duly offered the driver the Chinese good luck sign...

    Stopped off at Whakapapa for a coffee ( and to let my knee stop hurting...oh and to change the undies after the rubbish incident too... ).

    Cleaned off half an inch of bug spooge from the visor, started south. And then ran into a swarm of bees. Like machine bullets off the visor - rattattattat etc. Which immediately turned the visor back to smegma. Somehow none got within stinging range.

    All good from then on if you don't count the two dudes (in SUV's again) who turned across oncoming traffic (which included myself).

    I'd recommend that ride to anyone. It's fucking great.

    Yip, them some good roads. Mostly nice flowing corners with a few tight ones for good luck. A good mix in my mind.

    Is Happy Valley the one that runs along a stream/river at some point? Real cool roads around that area.

    I was bloody gaging for a ride yesterday after the unexpected nice weather. Couldn't be assed doing much else. Instead firing the bike up every-so-often to make sure the battery was charging itself alright. After 4ish years of stuff all riding and just sitting for long periods, the battery only now needs charging back up when it sits for a few weeks. I'm quite impressed really, but it means I have to plan my spontaneous rides.

    No I think you are referring to Otewa rd, in the same area.

    Yep some great roads with the only traffic being tractors and milk tankers.

    Oh yer I forgot that, plus the large deer that hurdled a 7 wire fence and bounded across the road just in front of me last summer.
