Last Sunday rides – started with Ulysses ride through Motuere to Source of Riwaka and down to Motueka for lunch but that just was not enough so left them there and headed up to Tapawera then back down through Golden Downs.
Still need long way home so headed through to St Arnoud/Nelson Lakes road and headed up hill again.
Got most of way to Lakes when clouds loomed so headed back towards Nelson. Joined 2 sports bikes but could not/would not corner at their speed so let them pass and kept in their mirrors instead. No brave pills with new bike. Magical imperial ton so easy though.
Towards Nelson and still not ready to stop so turned left at Brightwater and headed back along inland highway to Motueka again. Home on coastal road and in my spa before sun goes down.
No rain. Compliment to people who put out the ‘ice/grit’ signs – every one meant it and every load of grit had one. Perfect.
Got whole weekend off next one so heading to west coast – just wanna ride…
Damn it’s good to be so alive.
