You didn't happen to be with a couple of cruisers heading to Wainui beach were you Stephen? If so you passed me outside a friends in Wainui, I had just been out there.

Great weekend, had just enough layers to survive the cold comfortably... including the late run home.
Thanks XF650 for setting the ride in motion.

Looked awesome Struan. That poolburn dam will be a place i'll always remember riding past.

Hi Guys

Some pictures from the weekend, brilliant trip, the low fog in the valleys was F@%king cold, riding in 12 deg and sunshine then with in two hundred metres 4 deg and damp, you soon find out whats good to wear in that stuff.

Good team of guys, lots of laughs and lies at the pub as always.

Photos from left to right, Poolburn dam dead still, Hobbits in the machine, power pylon above the fog, Cold Hobbits, Low fog approx 50 metres visibility - love that GPS
