Haha - look once we get past Thames I don't think we will have any 'unwanted' attention.
Try and keep the pace down on the straights a bit eh and just have some fun in the corners
Probably going to a smallish group anyway....

I have 2 observations about the ride:

1) Damn good fun. Aside from the slight amount of rain in the hills, it was a good omen of things to come for summer.

2) I am not ride fit, so my arse is hurting!! More miles in the saddle required I think.

Thanks for the ride, and sorry I had to bail at Tairua. Just had time to cook tea for the family before going out at night.
