in Ngtea. Good ride up yesterday in the dry but weather has turned in on us. Still deciding if we are going to do the coro loop but most probably will not be there at the pre arranged 10am start time. Look at the weather this afternoon and play it as it goes.

Have a good one everyone

So did I hioke a Uey at the right time?
The rain is one thing but the wind is altogether a different animal, be very careful guys.
I really enjoyed doing the part ride yesterday despite throwing my brain out of gear at one point through the Desert road. Depending on the weather (big surprise) I thought I might ride up north tomorrow and try to catch up with y'all at some point, anyone else keen?
Just about had a major off coming through the Napier-Taupo road on the way home, wet road, shiney tarmac and for all I know probably some diesel residue too, it was major scarey time!!
