Last Saturday was the first nice weekend day since I got my scoot.
So I headed out from Onehunga and jumped on the southern motorway heading north, to the north western motorway and out to Kumeu, then to Muriwai. Snapped a couple of photos at Muriwai beach. Then I rode to the Waitakeries and through to Huia. Then went back along the Waitakeries a bit and off to Piha. I took a few photos there and then headed home. I probably only spent 5 minutes at Muriwai and the same at Piha - but the ride was great.
With close to 20 years of car driving I don't remember going for a decent drive for nothing but the drive itself - it feels great to be on two wheels again.
With the nice Spring weather I'll have to look at more places to go and things to see. Might even join a few group rides. There is so much of NZ that I haven't been to that I should have no problems finding new places to ride. I might even do a nice holiday riding from Auckland to Invercargill to Auckland, taking 4 to 6 weeks to see the sights (probably not this Summer, maybe the next one).
Ride safe & I might see you out there!
