Sunday 9-12-07

Weather was good, so decided to jump on the bike, and head up to Rimutex, to see if anyone else was gunna show for the il Cruisy Sunday Ride. HUng around at rimutex until 10:30, no one else had shown that was going on the cruisy ride, so decided to take a solo jaunt up akatawara rd, to waikanae and then come home via paekakariki hill rd.

Deano / jimbo600 / tony / limbimtimwim showed up, took some piccies of three of the bikes (missed limbimtimwim's one - will get next time)...
These guys were going for a faster cruise out gladstone way, so waved them off, and geared up to head out myself.

First time up akatawara rd, and if I have a say in it, my last. did not enjoy that road one little bit. Not a nice feeling on every tight little corner, wondering if a car is gunna wipe me out. So won't be doing that piece of road again if I can help it...

However will be making many more trips over and back on paekakariki hill rd. Now that is a ripper bit of road. Once I do it a few times, and get to know it a little, will start to rip those corners. Managed to keep a nice rythym to them on my first attempt, but I think they can be done a lot smoother. So will make that the goal for next time.

Home in time to lube the chain on the bike, before the rain started.
End of the day
