My missus just said the same thing
Why dont you organise a ride and finsh here at home and have a BBQ tea
Shes a bueat aint she

You guys are right, i am always pumped when i get home and wanting to talk about the ride Would be good to socialise a little more after the ride

I think we socialise enough on the rides as reflected by the GPS figures

sounds like a good plan. Although I spent today moaning and croaning about the celebrations last night. You snobby didnt come over last night either. We were looking forward to a burnout show.

well simply awesome ride today

after promising 86 choccy cake if he got his ass outta bed this morning to join english & I at manfeild .. & a few hours later (not organised that boy) Sarah & al finally made an appearance. Watched some great racing & caught up with a few of the kbers before we decided a quick flick on my new playground would be a great way to end the day .. as we gassed up the hawkes Bay crowd also came through so decided to hook up to Ashhurst .. Mstrs & Tart decided to head off ahead .. so with myself in the lead (just for a change

) robertydog, gixxer 4eva, wasp27 & donna, 86 2 up with sarah, english .. hmm & I think I am missing someone else .. off we stormed .. caught up with Mstrs & just tucked in behind him .. at Ashhurst lots of toots & waves as we seperated ..

86 with english hot on his heels disappeared into the distance over the saddle .. well perfect time to practice some of sugi's lesson .. so slowed down & decided to play

hooked up again on the main road .. quick stop for refreshments & off through Ballance & the track .. OMG Betsy in the lead again ..

now getting ones Mojo back after a bin or ... well damn sugi has hmm taught me well used the whole road & glad there were no boy racers on the wrong side of the road today.. & it felt blardy fantastic .. English & 86 can give their perspective but from my grin .. well that said it all .. took it fairly easy on the eastern side of the track but coming down the western side ..

well lets just say thats the fastest i have ever cornered or gone & it felt just damn awesome ...

after saying our goodbyes even had a spirited ride back to shannon ..fed the horses & shot off to Levin for dinner ..

just need to practice some more twistie stuff .. but figure with daylight savings starting the block will get a bit more practice .. then there is dogs playground with grit on corners .. that will be the next practice ground ..
