Update - it has cleared in Kapiti and is blowing a moderate wind. Pay to keep in mind the road surface though. We can always do a ride tomorrow when its dry. Thoughts?

Get any good crackling with that long pig?

Well I decided at the last minute that I would tag along. So left home at 10.20am to catch up with the crew. Well I was never going to make in time for a 10.30 departure at New World in Waikanae to instead caught up at Manfield.
After watching a couple of races we went up to the windfarm, across the Saddle Track and into Pahiatua. Quick detour North for lunch at the Tui Brewery.
Then home. The group split into several smaller groups for the run home depending on where people lived. Eugene and Anomoly went for a detour through the Wairarapa. The Black Stig, Ducatigirl and myself headed down SH2 and Toaster, Katiepie, Darryn etc went home back over the Pahiatua track.
Bloody good day out, didn't strike any rain until Featherston. It then rained all the way home.

Fantasic day everyone. I got home at about 6.30 and am absolutely knackered.

What a beautiful day it turned out to be up north huh? The heavens opened up for me as I headed over the Haywards back home. There were two accidents too which slowed things down a little.

But a great days riding. Some really good roads up that way, and stunning scenery. Just loved the wind farm... could feel the "air in my hair"!

Great riding, first class company, and one very very dirty bike for me to clean tomorrow.

But tonight, I now have a very hot date with a bottle of wine, popcorn and a movie.

Have added some photos - not too clever so am sure I would have stuffed that up somehow. Thanks everyone, what a bloody fantastic bunch you all are!

[Sketchy Snr]

Not on for me, arthritis playing up, both bikes not yet equiped with snorkels and flippers, miaght make it to sparkies later.

Hey Denis, your online mate well done

wish i followed you now cloggy we didnt get back till 8.30 (eugene took a wrong turn and found gravel and i decided what the heck lets just keep going) I am sure Eugene will post up exactly what we did at some stage...but it was a good ride...im pretty sure that is the fastest speed my bike has stayed at for a while (pushed my limits abit but it was good ) thanks all

So much for you soft cocks that stayed at home, we had a great day, weather was almsot summery at Manfield,
We spllit ranks on the way home,Carla went north to Taihape, Dennis and I decided to go to Sparkies at Himatangi instead of the Tui Brewery, how ever when we reached Sparkies Dennis decided that the talent that we had been ridning with was 200% better than at Sparkies so we hot footed it over the Paihatua Track and met up with the crew again at the Tui Brewery, who by the way had just arrived , not sure what they were doing up at the wind farm either that or D and I had a tail wind.
Quick beer and a bite, fueled up in Paihiatua and then headed back over the Track.
Struck rain north of Levin and suffered wet undies all the way home.
A great ride, for those that stayed home, should have been there guys,and to those that were there what a neat group of people, met some new faces,the regular crew are a great bunch to ride with,caring, funny and human,thanks Cam for organising a great ride and to the rest of the crew thanks for a fantastic day.

thanks Cam for organising a great ride and to the rest of the crew thanks for a fantastic day.

Second that - Thanks heaps Cam for getting us all sorted and out riding. Much appreciated. Nice space suit too! Hope you can squeeze in one more ride before you bugga off and leave us all. Hope you know that we all take it personally, and think that we must smell.

But yes, thank you. We are all going to miss you and Busa
