LOL.. yeah.. they must drive pretty relaxed..

As long as we average over 25km/hr we should make it in under that time

Was a great ride on sunday, i headed off at miranda and took kopu-hikuai road to whanga's then on to hams via waihi, totally shagged when i got back but what a ride!

Did u guys get back before the rain?

As soon as we get near Dorkland, it's rains, typical, but suprising my jeans never got wet

magic.

22 is not the road to go down when you've been off your bike for a while. My wrists and fingers needed to be based with a hammer to straighten them!

That's easy Bunnythorpe is were the Easter Bunny lives. It's next to Cowridge (that's where all Tooth Fairy lives) - what? Did you expect something stupid like Toothville? - That would be silly!)

I might be on this ride though. Hold me back...I'm on a role - 2 weeks in a row.

A bit of a different pace to rest of the ride, and 22 was very dirty - a lot more shit and crap than normal all over it. Awesome fun.

I thought you guys were just going down there to turn around :P

I figured 22 would have been quite dirty, it was dirty when we went that way in mid summer

It was easily dirtier now than in summer .. the farmers are using it to get feed to cattle with their tractors.

Still... mixes the ride up a bit

Nothing like a bit of cows grazing on the road
