    Here's the last couple of pics at Bideford.

    Mrs needs me in bed so I'll leave posting the GPS track until tomorrow.

    My pics finished there because we headed off to Masterton and then Zukin stopped at Greytown and was to return to Napier from there while me and Frodo headed home across the 'takas.

    Thanks Zukin for the ride, great idea and great company guys.

    Sounds like you fullers had an awesome ride. Surprising how much of North Range Road I recognize from 8 years ago. Will have to get back up there one day to have a look at the new turbines.

    Cheers R

    The track is easy peasy now, you'd get a car through it, still fun on the bike though.
    Cheers

    Wasn't yesterday a great day! It's amazing who one meets where. Pongaroa was very sociable, and we greatly enjoyed our trip to Akitio -- on the seal, of course. Fantastic roads.

    Yeah was great to see you two. I said we might meet somewhere on that road once we hit the seal again.

    Thanks for the ride guys. Awesome day. Looking at those photos Merv, I'll try eating with my helmet on in future.

    I'll try shrinking some photos and post my extra adventure.

    But boy did I have a good day yesterday, the ride, the company and the weather
    I had a spirited ride home last night and got into my driveway at 8.30pm

    Yeah well you had a lot further to get home from Greytown than I did. I'd already showered and gone out with Mrs to the Paremata Monteiths before you got home. Good riding with you Zukin - must do it again sometime.
    Cheers

    Right, I shot up Whariti first, as I didn't have as far to get to the start point.

    Very hazy, but always an awesome view.
