    I am jealous now.
    Plan for tomorrow is to do the Maraetai Run and give some one a chance to lead as it is quite different in the front.

    And what a ride! The leader ran out of petrol!

    Thanks to the rest of the group for sticking by and helping get petrol for a rescue! You know you're riding with top people in the SASS group...

    I thought it was a great exercise and something we have not covered before.
    Always something going on here!

    Adventurous night...meeting yous enroute at the village, the mishap taking in the idyllic view, me getting waylaid by hunger pains then transporting turkish contraband (the chicken kebab stuffed in me jacket) back to south auckland, taking the wrong turn off home and ending up in East Tamaki where all the roads back to Manukau were closed off due to road works and having to go via East Tamaki Otara, being complimented by window washers at the Puhinui lights who mistook me for a patched dude and finally...meeting the crew back at the watering hole to be greeted by hot choccy courtesy of Tig and to share some laughs about the night. FABULOUS MATEs.

    Sorry I couldn't make the Pub! Partner just got back from being away 4 days, and it wouldn't do me any favors to be out all night with the bike

    Was as interesting ride following behind ol tiggadee as leader! Between the fuel mishap, and your seeming philosphy that speed limits are more guidelines then actual rules it was a great ride!

    Looking forward to next week! What a nice night out though!

    What a beautiful sunset... to see that flaming red globe of a sun setting into the horizon as we crested the hill coming into Manukau city centre.

    It was a perfect end to an eventful ride...



    Glowerss - Catch you next week, owe you a beer...
