Now here is today's SNAFU: Situation Normal All F#@$ed Up

Coming off the motorway at Ngauranga then along the Hutt Road, I moved from right to left lane and station in front of slower moving vehicle, I wave riders behind to proceed and pass then move into left lane in front of me....with me so far, well the next Gathering Point was on the Hutt Road at Caltex....you guessed it all but two kept on riding right past the Caltex....we caught them up at Evans Bay.
