Cape Reinga Ride Report and Photos

[Badger8]

I think the aerodynamic photos look mean! If I was actually going faster then 100km/hr no one would make fun of it .

You looked like you were giving it a fair bit of stick up the hill, what speed were you actually doing? (if you happen to know)

Broke speedo (it isn't the cable BTW, it's the wee thing on the wheel ), so no idea. Guna pop into holeshot/ wreakers on Wednesday and have a wee chat with them.
