today manfield & thereabouts .. Yod just send us a text if you feel like popping out

Morrow the vagrants are heading to martinborough so could do a wee fang down those back roads towards masterton, will need to be back mid afternoon so may only venture as far as masterton & then head back same way ..

I think there was a suggestion heading out to castlecliff for a look as well ...

Well another great ride today! Met up with Chanceyy, English, the Stranger and Stirts in Shannon and did our usual run through Aokoutere and Ashhurst to Manfeild catching up with Cowboyz and Yod. (next time Jodi and Ben eh).

Watched some bloody good racing before hitting the Halcombe road for a damn good warm up!

Up to Marton for gas, then past the resevoir and down into Turakina Valley Rd. Cowboyz demonstrated how it's done on gravel - nice one

This leg was excellent fun and takes one through some great country (and choccy cake - yum).

Then a spirited run into Hunterville before tackling Vinegar Hill. Just an amazing run through there today, then back to Ashhurst for coffee at Meanies - even though he wasn't there

Great day out guys.

Good to meet you Stranger and Stirts, and have a safe trip back
