Great ride....er....swim trip....whatever. But great nonetheless.

Departed Autobahn Papakura at 9.30am, we turned off motorway at Drury. Did a quick turn and got on northbound motorway.
The weather was fine and the bikes were running well.
We turned off at Mt. Wellington offramp, and proceeded through some of the twistiest bits of Auckland suburban roads which are littered with redlights, and managed to get to city centre as planned.
The real tricky part of the ride was getting on to Parnell Rd, and we then proceeded to britomart station. Stopped there for a while getting lunch and drinks as usual.
We then set off again towards Victoria Park, on to Ponsonby Rd and down to Newmarket via K'Rd, doing the LinkBUS loop ride.
Too bad the weather turned raining hard halfway through the ride.

But it was still an awesome ride :headbang:
Looking 4ward 2 nxt wkend :devil2:

Y'all never know, some chicks on Queen St might dig mature Santa-profiled rural lifestyle dweller on a shiny brand spanking new R6, aye Dave? *wink wink*
