I missed the wednesday ride and struggling with the chores or riding (well, you know that's an easy choice) - except when you consider the consequences of not doing said chores

Might see some of you lucky ones on the road. I am driving back from Hastings. It is raining here.

I'm leaving J'ville shortly - should see you at rimutex at approx 10:15.

Cheers,
Dave.

I journeyed forth up the hutt motorway this morning, not knowing what might lay ahead.

I saw two fellow riders cruising near the haywards turnoff, so followed them to rimutex (ukiwi and his wife). Several sports bikes were already there and ready to go. They headed off first (knowing our sheer skill and power would shortly reign them in). We were joined a short while later by sinful, who agreed to be tail end charlie whilst two of us attempted the rimutakas for the first time.

There was a pause from the mountain, as it shook with the might of the 3 proud L-plate toting riders (known as the "L-plate squad") ascending its base. Of course sinful had a bike with more than 4 times the cubic capacity (and probably even more power), but that didn't keep our 5 combined cylinders from making an attack. We stopped at the summit. Dead calm and sunny. We went through to greytown, where sinful headed back home (probably to ride a little quicker too :-) then the remaining 3 went onto Carterton. After a coffee and a snack, we pootled to Martinborough. Quite a few bikers were out. After another coffee, we headed through featherston and back over. I went via the haywards back home.

It was a brilliant day. Well worth not doing chores eh?

Was good to meet you guys ! No problem with riding at an L pace Dave when the company is as it was !
Was very surprised to meet cloud, a bit of rain (almost sleet) over that side of the haywards after leaving here in brilliant sunshine !
Was a bit of said quickness in getting through masterton and the paihiatua track to find the sun again lol (wasn't really dressed to handle the chill factor i met) funny, but ya seem to feel warmer at warp speed !
Should have stuck around and enjoyed the ride around the rapa a bit more, as i missed one appointment by leaving for the ride anyway and ended up waiting round for a couple of hours for the next one after getting home !
Still managed to clock up a good 700 k over the weekend and thats why i own the bike !
