started from takinini went throught ardmore to clevedon to kawakawa bay to orere point to kaiaua to mangatwhiri to mercer to tuakau to pukekohe to karaka to takinini.
anyways was an extremely fun trip finished work today at 12 and it was sunny as :) so decided i would go for a ride and didnt really know where i was gonna go so i just rode, all was uneventful till i got to clevedon as i mormally ride these ways when i want so know roads but after taking turn off for kawakawa bay i started having alot more fun because i never been these ways before, (off topic, for some reason, i dont take right handers as good as left handers, any ideas any1 as 2 why? any1 else do this?) so all was going good doing 100+ kms got to kawakawa bay and it was looking pretty darn nice with high tide and sun out, now i am going through the gorge and to be honest it has some pretty fucken tight corners which came out of nowhere and on one in particular almost crossed white lines into path of campervan , was left hander. Soo shit my pants, now im at kaiaua it i stop to have a break and sip of water too reflect, so after that i got back into groove of things and the scare must have done something cause i was riding a hell of alot better after than i was before, so from kaiaua i went on to mangatawhiri which i then took mercer turn off nice fast pace on that road as i been on it before, once at mercer i go towards pukekawa and then turn towards tuakau then on to pukekohe then karaka then motorway to takinini.
Now i gotta say i was pretty lucky with the weather as the whole time i could see dark clouds but was sorta riding around them so only got dripped on few times.
this was the first long ride for me and was great fun and would entirely recommend route i took and would even be keen to show some others it if need be.
so to end this HAHA you were probably at work while this all happened :killingme
