    Blah Wangas? (Sunday 2 November)

    Any Naki boys keen on a fang out to the Wanga pub tomorrow for a beer if the weather comes right? (which it's meant to)

    Maybe next time
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Me too, but I actually passed through Whanga twice on my way to Kaieto and back scrubbing in new tyres.

    Dunno what went wrong, usually after a trip like that I only have small(ish) chicken strips but they are still embarrassingly large. The outward leg was done in constrained fashion but the homeward leg was reasonably uninhibited most of the way.

    This was also a test of the suspension. There's a couple of bends between Kaieto and Whanga with built in whoop de woos. If a bike is going to wallow anywhere it'll do it there. No problems.

    Apart form the bloody chicken strips it was a great day

    Yeah, missed this too.

    Got the bike stripped down to do a bit of maintenance for the upcoming Training Day in Taupo.

    I'm sure it was a good ride, keen for next time!
