    Have a good ride everyone. I wish I could have made it this year. It looks like a great route.

    It was a great ride.
    The weather held- well almost the whole way.

    The stratford end really suited this rider and machine.

    Mostly rode byself but was always given a wave by others on the ride.

    The GPS mostly played the game. Although if I had more time I would have put a few more intermediate points in.

    There are popup dumplings for sale on western access road, who knew? In the middle of nowhere. It wasn't on the route as the GPS thought it knew better.... lol

    on my list of to do again rides

    I completed another 1KC (my third start and second finish).

    Good ride. I've never been along the Forgotten Highway so wasn't expecting gravel or the buttock clenching moment as I entered the narrow tunnel and realised a couple of things in quick succession; follow the wheel tracks not the mud between the wheel tracks and not all tunnels are lit like the motorway tunnels in Auckland, so flip up sunshade before entering tunnel.
    Nearly had 300kg of Honda blocking the tunnel, but managed to not drop it.

    No cell coverage at the pub checkpoint just past the tunnel, so no navigation on my phone. Just followed someone else. Easily solved.

    Arrived back into Hamilton at about 7:30pm, so improved on previous time by about 15 mins.

    Not sure that it's the most pleasurable way to spend a day, but certainly a healthy sense of achievement and I get to keep the shiny badge.
