Except that at Woodville, I felt a bit too ambitious, and turned right for Napier, and SH5 through to Taupo.

13 1/4 hours and 914km later, I'm home. Sleepy time, I think.

Thanks Carrie ! Hopefully gone when we get up there. Cheers.

How can anything beat being a biker on a day like this.

Chanceyy & I turned up at Rimutex at 10am and it was a little quiet. So we waited a bit, thinking we'd go at 10:30 anyways. A guy turns up, we chat, he's waiting for a group that has 'that chick that races'... aha. So by 11am there's about 15 of us, mostly KBer's ... all standing around gassing.

Eventually everyone mounts up and we head for the hill. At the top, everyone's standing around gassing ... bugger that. Let's ride - so Wannabikerx2 and I are off. The others are all going to Martinborough anyway, we're heading to Carterton (Chanceyy has to get home eventually). Chanceyy? ... where's Chanceyy? Ooops left her at the top of the hill. She eventually caught up with us at Wild Oats in Carterton followed 40 minutes later by Rustys and Duke Girl. Remember, them, according to their earlier post, they were leaving at 10am

. We left at 11, no sign of them by then ... one has to ask what they were doing instead!

Wannabiker x 2 and I came home to do the lawns, Chanceyy got the company of Rustys and Duke Girl to Alfredton, Pahiatua, The Track and at least back to Levin.

Great day, great people ... life is good

what is this carrie business??

**rustys** · 7th September 2008, 17:24

Oops sorry...( Kari) is that better. Grub... yes Duke Girl, Chancey and i had a great ride after leaving you at Carterton. Went through Mauriceville, Eketahuna then turned up the Mangamaire road thats a nice ride through there, (some nice rivers in there hope there's some trout in them as i will come back there and have a fish one day.) Over the Pahiatua track and another coffee stop at Shannon before heading home. Well have to do two oil changes on both bikes before next weekend, as the little Ninja has done over the 1000klms now, so Susie can thrash it along now. Brilliant day out as it showed with all the bikes out on the road. Roll on summer.

Nothing beats it on this kinda day

Felt like I was on a manawatu ride

The others are all going to Martinborough anyway, we're heading to Carterton (Chanceyy has to get home eventually). Chanceyy? ... where's Chanceyy?

Wannabiker x 2 and I came home to do the lawns, Chanceyy got the company of Rustys and Duke Girl to Alfredton, Pahiatua, The Track and at least back to Levin.
