Smiling Faces

I'll be doing a write up tomorrow, as it took me all week to get home from Manfeild.
Trudes, if you're looking at doing a course (apart from the May one), let me know and I'll try to head down again. I have to say, though, it felt great not to be on a bike for a couple of days.

Ha I bet chook! Will do, I wouldn't be keen on riding my bucket around Manfield or the Taupo long track however, too many long boring straights for my wee 2 stroke, so would depend on the track for bucket training.

Thanks for the write up Quasi. I was keen to do this day but a number of events conspired against me.

I don't think I can make the May date due to work .... but hopefully there will be more.

Great to read about all the smiley faces! It was an excellent day was it not! I certainly enjoyed it - it is such a buzz to see all you guys out there having such a great time.

For those of you that did not notice, I hit the road at 4pm and made it to the ferry about 3 minutes to 6 - talk about heavy traffic into Wellington - I was getting pretty worried about missing my 6.30pm ferry! Although there are not heaps of places to pass anyway, I got stuck behind a cop for close on 60km!!!

I was tentatively planning to stay the night in Picton as I knew I would be tired after a huge day on the bike so I headed off to the backpackers I had booked. After realising that I would be spending the night with 5 women in a bunk room I decided to head to Nelson despite a horrible headache.

It was a long trip home but it was a beautiful night for riding. No full beam made me very tentative in the twisties but I eventually arrived home safe and sound just before midnight.

Boy was I tired!

Still, track days with Karel are always worth the effort!

Hope to see you all at another one soon!

Jill, thank you for making the effort to come up for the day. I did notice you sneaking off
How come you didn't have full beam though? Hope your boss let you off a little bit of time on Wednesday (but guess he didn't).
Ah cops have a great habit of making us behave sometimes (or just catching us out). Glad you made it home safely

Not sure why the full beam wasn't working - flicked the switch and the lights went completely out! Yikes! Turned out to be a loose wire which is now fixed.

Yes, cops have a way of making us behave! You should try riding with Kevin - even on his days off I am always such a good girl when riding with him!
