see my latest post in the thread for tomorrow's ride

i had a go at karekare and lone kauri rd - in retrospect possibly not the best decision

my average speed today was around 70kph

my average speed up to whangarei via SH1 was 120kph

but considering the windy nature of today's ride, i think today was definetly the more extreme of the two (several "25km" hairpins at bethels, can be done at 55 if you dodge the pothole)
