Rode it on Wedensday in nice warm weather.
Probably half of it was basically liquid tar. My bike, bag and gear got absolutely covered in tar and i am still finding tarry stones in all sorts of places.
Not impressed to say the least

Was this new road works or tar bleed at the Taumarunu end. It's bad in the wet too.
Ride it until the wheels fall off...
It looked like it was new but had been "completed" as there were no warning or road works signs or workers around.
Alot of it was going up and down the saddles between Whangmongama(?) and Stratford.
The cynic in me wonders if its a deliberate "traffic calming" exercise.
Rode in to Whangamomona from New Plymouth last week. There was resealing underway between Gordon Road and the Douglas railway crossing, and the whole of the Strathmore saddle had just been resealed. Other than that, the road was as good as always.
Having parked outside the pub I was advised to move my bike (please) and got a free coffee for my troubles. A long story involving a photo opportunity for two red Nissan 370Z convertibles, one of which was owned by Mrs Publican.

It's all my fault. I must've worn it out when I rode it a few weeks back.
Sorry...
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

Is that the Anzac weekend or the one they now have over independance weekend Pete ?
Could quite see Heidi and I doing Anzac weekend again this year, a little close to the cold duck and of course my aversity to camping, but it is a good (read small enough to enjoy) rally and the ride of course is superb !
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !
The ANZAC one Bill, - likewise - it's a good size and well laid back - see you there?
O'night at Matiere if you like :
"If you haven't grown up by the time you turn 50, you don't have to!"
So I'm still cleaning bloody tar off things. Under whos' jurisdiction does this road fall?
They are going to hear from me
