Travelling to the NBA, heading south

[tri boy]

About 10-10.30ish. Easy ride for Karen, to get used to the KLE.

you boys not know about the shortcut across upper waitara river. saves a shit load of miles. i have emailed a couple of the locals to pint it out. hope they come and post it for ya

If this is the one that comes out at Matau North I would appreciate it if you didnt go that way as it travels through farmland and its lambing time. It really pisses farmers off if bikes travel through during lambing.
Cheers

I wish this bloody wind/rain would sort itself out, or at least decide what it is going to do. I wanted to start heading south this afternoon. But this weather seems determinied to delay me.

Might see what the evening brings, as the weather for tomorrow does not look too flash either. At least this way I can get south of the motorway outside rush hour.

So far I think I'm meeting Cary & Andy at Tuakau bridge and Gary & Dean at Te Uku, let me know if this is correct as I don't want to wait around if I don't have to.

Yes, at the loos, 8:30

I came past Chris on the motorway this evening while in the car.
I think he was very focussed on dealing with the cross-wind because I pulled up alongside of him, waved, tooted the horn a couple of times, waved some more etc etc and he never so much as glanced in my direction.
Give him a poke for me will you.

Give him a poke for me will you.

Well.... did anyone do as I asked....... or do I have to do everything myself?

I did get suitably hassaled, but still I don't remember anyone honking. Maybe you need to get a more manly horn?

Where abouts on the motorway was it?

Where abouts on the motorway was it?

Between Takanini and Papakura, just where the motorway crosses the harbour inlet. I think you were more concerned with the crosswind gusting in from the water than people in cars behaving strangely.
