Great ride

[Lou Girardin]

Just did a 2 day ride to Houhora, it's much better doing these rides during the week. I envy you shift workers sometimes.
Good weather, just cool enough to be comfortable, stuff all traffic on the back roads and only saw 3 cops. (before they saw us, hee hee)
There wasn't even much road works, but I wish the morons would sweep the roads after they patch them.
I would have posted the ride in case some of you wanted to come, but not having a PC on a regular basis is a problem.
Life's great ain't it? :bigthumb:

Sounds like a very enjoyable ride. Just one question, and I ask it at great trepidation of exposing to ridicule my lack of touring experience and geographical ignorance, but
... where the hell's Houhora?

40k's north of Kaitaia. Stayed in Kaitaia overnight.

No, don't like dirt much and I've been there several other times. The main reason for the ride was to do the Mangamuka hill. Real twisty, smooth tarmac, just magic.
