Thanks to the entreaties of a long lost friend who has started to reclaim his mantle as a biker, I managed to get out on a bike ride today. Accompanied by a few stalwarts I know, we helped a little gaggle of bikes along safely along the Whitford-Maraetai loop.

We had noonses at Clevedon and a bit of a chin-wag. The hunuas beckoned and we pootled off at a sedate and merry pace. One of our number suddenly remembered an engagement with work and promptly beetled off to make it!

The rest of us made our own merry way to parts of Auckland, I went to Cycletreads and Motomail where my earstwhile friend purchased a new helmet and cargo net for his new(ish) bike!

Much chortling indeed when the regular crew from KB descended on 'Treads at the same time. I think TOTO was pretty much kept busy due to the sales!

Been a long while since I've done something like this. Miss it I does. Thank the biker gods that I managed to do it today on such a fine weather gauge!
