Targeting group rides

[peasea]

17km of motorway or urban roads depending on when I leave home. I live in Mairangi Bay (North Shore) and work in the CBD. Dear say I get more traffic to negotiate than you. Still, I'd far rather do it on a bike than stuck in a cage. The filtering can be a hoot if the conditions and mood are right.

I used to live on the Shore, Browns Bay, Rothesay Bay then Sunnynook. My work took me all over the North Island and if I couldn't be outta there by 6.00am or earlier then I'd leave it for a few hours. When possible I would ride, so much quicker to get around. Traffic is one of the main reasons I left Auckland. It's a nice place over Christmas when everyone buggers off though.

And best of all I'm studying motorcycle safety so I have to read about bikes, ride bikes, do track days and talk about bikes. Until now it's all been voluntary, now I am obliged to do it. While I admire the young ladies.

It's a hard life eh?

I usually don't leave home till 9am so I miss most of the traffic.

I grew up in Auckland and remember it being absolutely dead over Christmas. Not so much lately.
