just got back, so thats nearly 9 hours riding. And what a day. Caught myself just staring at the sky and thinking "mint" and "wow". Rest of the time I was finding many lonely lovely corners. Initially went the back way to hamilton and cut thru to go out to raglan which is when i think I got carried away and missed a turn off. What funAnyway was just leaving Ominaia (?????not sure) and thought "bugger me the winds a bit strong here" gave the bike a little flick "oh shit!!back tyre feels nearly flat".
With the day been so mint this didnt even phase me, found the local garage and asked the girl at the counter if she had a tyre pando. I know they wreak your tyres but I was just gona use it to get to hamiltron and replace the stuffed one, anyway she didnt know what I was talking about but did say "try the garage round the back". So I did. Im not a big porche fan but Im sure if I was then id have made a mess in my pants when I saw this garage. These guys had about 30, maybe more, porches in different states of repair. lots of racing chassis etc. Even I was impressed. 20mins later and 20$ for the repair and im off.
Raglan was going off too. Was there for about 2 hours just watching people surf.
One of those days you dont really want to end and the thought of aucks traffic didnt make me want to leave raglan either, sigh.
oh, and the ironic little twist (every day has one, you just have to look for it)
the puncture was caused by a pasload nailgun nail, and im a builder. Karmah???
