Done a few of those myself, Find I never argue about where I'm going and worry if the pace is to slow or to fast, and no one spits rocks at you

Last bit was for MXNUT

Going to meet the Guys from Northern Gravel this Sat 9am at Kumue BP for their first gravel ride of the year (to Puhoi etc) then depending how things go, tide is right to shoot across to Wilsons Rd for a trek up the beach etc before returning home (just in case any of you guys are interested)

[Motu]

It's getting better and better all the time, you can get a car through there now. Wasn't so good in 2006.

[dino3310]

Nah, we went fer a ride today.

We started out with the Dnepr and Rick's Ural, going to the Classic meeting at Hampton Downs.
We only got 5 or 6 kms and the Dnepr started running rough (the main jet had vibrated loose on the RH side!). So by the time we fixed that, it was getting on, so we went for a ride over Old Mountain Road, and up Te Huitewai Road into Raglan West. Had a beer at the Harbour View and then home on SH23.

Magic.
