At least Kawagreen gets to mow his lawns...
Weather was a bit of a disappointment considering today's forecast. However the roads were mainly dry until Wellsford, so not too bad.
Age is too high a price to pay for maturity
All Hail King Carl!
I don't think you woulda liked the ride anyways P. Your Ninja may have gotten dirty....

Later we sort of got separated...... 4 of us idiots wanting more value for our money - more than a $1.00 took off and left the pack behind then stopped to regroup and then realised we morons didn't know where we were going......
Several text's, calls and about nearly an hour later we rejoined the group at their lunch stop........

LOLOL, It would just give me a excuse to clean the bike. Infact ill clean it anyway. I did go for a short ride out to Puke so it needs a full strip down and clean. Havent done one since last week.

Thanks ZED for the ride! It was great as usual. Enjoyed it, but had to hang back with m/marker... Had to also turn off at Kaukapakapa. Till next time!!

yeah, i went into mt eden m/cycles and borrowed a couple of tools and took some links out of my chain and readjusted it, and by that time i was well and truly behind scheduleToo bad you couldn't join us dude, I saw you riding north as we were coming south thru Kaukaupakaupa, looks like you got your chain sorted!
i didnt come across any rain on the way up except for a tiny shower when i got to wellsford but that was it
i saw all of you's on your way back and figured you can't have gone on to mangawhai
oh well next time hopefully

Ditto. I had to cut a few corners just to keep on the cam so I wouldn't lose too much ground on you guys due to my complete lack of acceleration, and had the back slide once or twice on the white lines. Also on the way back to Akl, was on the inside of a left hander and hit some bare tar, which had me uncerimoniously sliding back on to the rougher stuff.
Hell, I shoulda stuck with you guys for another 10 minutes then. As it was, my plan to get back in time for the 250 ride feel through. Got stuck for 10 mins at the long bit of road works north of Kaukap and didn't make it back in time. Excellent ride to where I left you guys though. Now to work on the wife to let me graduate to a 600 something-or-other.
