Another real busy week at work and I was privileged with a visit from my mates Jake & Eleni. After our niceties, Jake was excited to take me outside to show me his digger that he had just picked-up from the toy library. That was cool and I sent them off with the appropriate sugar fix.

I wasn't planning to ride this weekend, but I figured I needed a fix on Saturday after I felt the need to go down the Ngaio Gorge and back up Onslow Road to get from Ngaio to Khandallah, so after getting a few things done at work on Saturday and the weather proving to be better than forecast, I decided, a visit to my parents in Masterton was in order. After filling at Caltex Kaiwhara' and a very cruisy ride to Rimutaka, I called in to see what the TCSMR riders were up to. Wannabiker and MiniW' were the only ones there, but Dave soon turned up, followed shortly after by the Hitchers. We ended up tagging-on with them and heading over to Martinborough for refreshments and before long there was quite a crew of bikers there, enjoying each others company, a coffee and a wee bit of sun.

Just after midday we were on our way and I took the back way, past Gladstone, to Masterton and spent the rest of the afternoon chatting with my parents. I headed home about 1600 and had a pleasant ride through lots of traffic over the hill doing 230Kms on an overcast day with temperatures between 10 & 12°C on predominantly dry roads. It wasn't far....but I got my fix!
