I could always shoot over to Gladstone in about an hour and meet up with him there.

You could always go for a ride and grab the bottom of the north tag ! The ADV guys don't wanna play !

You guys are just too smart. I thought it would have lasted a little longer than that. Picked that spot because it was out of street view range and also not visible in Google Earth.
I'll have to think of something harder next time.

i confess these are not fresh photos,i took them the other night ,in case it was too dark to take a good pic of a recent tag
you only need to reproduce the middle one,the only clue is these pics were taken at nearly last light

i ride past that spot every day,and i have always wondered about that house right out the end there,so i recognised the house first,then when i could see that calm water i was pretty sure it was out there.Neat little boat sheds eh?

That spot also has a geocache hidden, which was the reason for me heading out on that little peninsula last time.

Looks like the Auckland crew are hell bent on getting our tag.

They have had two goes already and are planning a third covert mission.
Maybe we should organise a ride to Waiheke and steal their tag. It's been stuck on that island for a little while now.

what do you guys think about that...i have modified the rules to say that whislt anyone can grab the tag it has got to be dropped"locally".Thats how the yanks play it.Waiheke has gone,i did think about it.

Entertaining a guest this weekend, so no time for me to go out and play. Probably just as well as the bike needs a WOF!

Great to see this thing with a life of its own.

So! Jumped on the bike and headed over the Takas hill to meet up with Wuzard at Gladstone. Got caught in a 'shower' on the way on Haywards which I thought would blow over. Wrong!
Went up into the clouds at the top of the Takas and it was bloody

Down the other side and got even wetter. Finally got to Gladstone only to find no-one there.

Quick U-turn and headed back. 2 mins from Featherstone the heavens opened again

. Pulled over and finally put the wets on. Back into the clouds in the rain and the dark with cages up my backside.

Finally got home wet and with no feeling in my hands or feet.

Now thawed out and dry. A bottle of red wine has just been opened.

Now! Do I really, really want to get the bike gear back on and grab this tag?

There's always tomorrow!
