exactly... luckily enough my sister in laws sister came down from auckland for new year... and they are taking my bag of stuff back up for me! yay.... bringing my bike back!!!!
Good work guys, sounds like fun although 5 and 6 means we are loosing members of aimless meanderers! and 7 and 8 are just a little random! and 10, well you must be loosing it!
Yes I am still in the world of the living, and have hardly caged it although have been home..... whats the crap about me being overtaken!!! bring it on! But glad to hear Rie has been getting in lots of good riding!
27th I decided to wash my gorgeous bike, and after having done that i decided it just wasn't enough, so headed over mount messenger, through the gorge, in to Taumaranui then through the forgotten highway!!! was a nice day, and ended it by re-cleaning my bike (due to the 12.6km of gravel on the highway)
Then again today I took off up to Te Kuiti, and then out towards Bennydale, through back roads through Ohura and then onto the forgotten highway again and through to home... and washed my bike when i got home! Aren't I a good girl! haha
Other than that, its just been a few rides round the coast to Opunake etc... and to work (and definitely developed the art of the long way home!)
Enjoy your weekend boys and girls and will see ya soon no doubt, im heading back up either tomorrow (friday) or saturday, so may see you monday night, or next weekend at the latest!

well nothing beats starting the new year with a nice ride.
Woke up in the morning (possible only for us non drinkers), send congrats happy new year txts to everyone and invites for a ride and off I go leaving the house 9:30 am.
Did the norh shore albany hill twisties around prison road, and ridge road - marvelous. 10:30am - Check my phone no txts - eveyone still asleep.
off up on SH16 - no smurfs, no cars - all the road for my self and a blondee in a BMW blowing me air kisses
Got to wellsford 11:30 check phone - still no takers for a ride. Then look over shoulder and blondee from BMW is heading my way. turns ot two wheeled motrbikes turn blonies in BMWs on. No second helmet today but got a rain chech to take her for a ride
On I go to Mangawahi, waipu Cove and Waipu where having a refreshing drink was mendatory. As it happened the annual Heighlender games were big strong men carry humongous rocks and cut trumedeous (SP?) logs were having a competition. wow.
On I go up north to Mangakaramea and exploring the roads that me and and anothe rrider had a slip up last week to make sure I face my fears and learn from me mistakes. The white princess was happy getting me trough there and keeping itself rubber side down that time trough that trecherous road. (note to self - do not get the 250 northland loop trough there) it is by now 1:30 pm and I get a txt from Trump Lady that she is keen for a swim somewhere. After a few txts we decided to meet up in wellsford and go to Kai Iwi lakes for a swim.
Down I go trough Paparoa rd - Heaven lenny kravits singing in the ears, empty curvy road ahead - rider and bike became one and corners were flowing like honey from a spoon - absolut heaven
Meeting Trump lady at wellsford at 3:30. Fixing up Pinky's brake as it became loose from vibrations and off we go for a swim. Lond way round for a swim that is. went up to paparoa and back on heavenly road (Paparoa Rd). Trump Lady and I made our way to sh14 where we saw a major car crach which had happened only minutes before we passed. Lucky us. Also lucky lady to be able to walk away from a car which by the looks of it flipped and landed on its roof.
Ariving at Dargaville at about 6pm we establish that neither me or Trum Lady have had any food so we made our way to Subway and picked up a few sandwiches to eat at the lakes.
7:00pm we arrive at kai iwi lakes hungry as wolfs. Eating two feet of garlic bread and smoked chicken tastiness saw us right. Was getting too cold for a swim so we decided not to this time but made cunning biker scum plans about swim rides this summer which will happen
Bach down we went trough boring but fast straight lined sh12 and on the way to wellsford we saw a gorgeous christmas decorated house like they do in the states. so we stopped and had an oooh and aaaah. The little girls whose grandfather had set up the whole decorations of the house came out and even gave us lolies while we enjoeys the beautifiul christmas lights their grandfather had put up.
On to wellsford and it is 9:30pm. petrol fill for toto and energy drink for trumpl lady and off we go to do sh16 in the dark. Absolute beauty - not a single car, and having both bikes on full beam all the way saw us right in the tight suff.
10:30pm - off we went onto kaukappakappa where out heavenly night pootle continued on to albany where we met some gorgeous smurf girls who tested us for alcohol, gave us pug smiles and imaginary kisses and off we went on motorway and home eventually.
Kms all up to 900 or threabouts. Oh we are so loving those twisty roads
more riding needed
Thank you for that. hopefully i can get out of work fast enough to get there.
If you see a girl sprint her bike up to you just as you are leaving asking about Kb. that is most likely me. got to get from Manukau.
please excuse all the road dirt plastered due to the trucks.

I'll be there tonight or tomorrow night. I'm suffering bike withdrawal.
Its diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; its life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.
