Next 250 ride

[Nagash]

I was really not impressed with the way New Zealand puts down new seal.. They just leave the gravel on the road and bugger off waiting for the traffic to sweep it away..

It got put just on my road that I live on over night and I had no clue about, I was going pretty quick down this road seeing as i do it every day and suddenly discovered i was in gravel!

Panicked somewhat I pressed on the rear brake (didn't slam it on) and still the rear tyre locked up, rear of the bike slid to the side and with a bit of fancy leaning I managed to the bike facing forward again and off i went with my heart jumped up in my throat.

My old man has a bit of swing with the local council so he gave them a wee bit of a bollocking and only a couple of days later they got a sweeper truck down there to sweep the gravel off the road.


Bloody unacceptable.. This sorta thing just didn't happen in England.

Bloody gravel..

I got no problems with that, but i'll be pulling out if it's raining.

First time round the Coro loop and i'd much rather do it in the dry

That sounds like a plan. Just wanna confirm - are we doing the whole loop, coz I been trrough Karangahape Gorge and it is majic - well worth doing the whole loop IMO.

Bugger the gorge, the stretch from Whangamata to Waihi is what really makes the full loop worth it!

[gtr boy]
