Wairoa farm ride (Saturday 9 February)

[DR Girl]

Your comments for those pics are so funny Night Falcontastic Mr Camera Man.
Yep it sure was HOT, even where we were, in all that lostness ! LOL.

Would have been good to see if the little DR200 could have barrelled past the lying in rest position DR650s ?
I was looking forward to the off road hill climbs
Next time eh.

With the weeeee 2hundy you could have just ridden over them

Im sorry too Robin, When I looked back at the bridge, everyone was on their bikes with helmets on so assumed that it was rock and roll time again. There were other factors which caused the seperation as well and have been taken on board. Still blown away by the scenery between Raupunga and Tuai, Awesome shingle road for views.

Will definitly be going back to the farm in the future, possibly April, will leave March for the RRRR then see what the weather is like in April.

Thanks for the pics Marty.

So now I'm not the only one to go AWOL on a group ride who wants the coveted "Pathfinder" badge. Perhaps we need to develop a signature slide for marking corners.
BTW Ross went to Waipatiki beach yesterday and going home from there via the back road to Tongoio offers some great views, perhaps add to homeward bound leg of next ride. Turn off at top of Tongoio hill/devils elbow, end up coming out by the Marae down on the flats.

you can go down the aopauanui beach road for about 8kms then turn into an unlocked gate on the right hand side, which leads you on a trailride
which exits at waipatiki via a creek crossing. good little bush ride, last time i went through there was a log across the trail but thatl certainly be cleared now, there's often signs that its maintained to an extent (self laying track marks, saw cut logs etc)
