    From there it was home going our separate ways, Cary to Otahuhu and I to Waiuku. Got home, greeted family, greeted dog (dog was the most excited to see me) had shower, washed bike, bounced on trampoline with the kids .
    Cary's $49 rear tyre is now dead having done at least 1500kms for around a third of a cent per Km. Not bad eh?

    Total km's for trip was 660km for me, slightly more for Cary.

    Ummm, I got my figures a little wrong, seems the Innova tyre only did 934k. still, $54 delivered......(be trying the Mitas next)

    I'm sure your speedo reads fast, I've checked mine to GPS and came out quite close and I only did 624k all up.
    Going away, busy?

    Was that from home? Haven't checked mine with the gps for a while Might have to check and adjust the wheel size setting in the speedo. Tho kast time I checked it with the 21" front wheel it was pretty close.
