OK, so nominations for wally of the week goes to: Roj

For some reason my wife and I had it fixed in our minds the ride was this weekend, so I was up several late nights last week getting things sorted and rode of in to the moonlit morning, getting to the pub at 8:06 thinking, damn, they left without me, so after racing around and not being able to figure out what roads to take, I ended up at Waikaremoana

It was a great day for a ride

Don't feel bad. I nearly did the same. I booked friday & monday (23rd & 26th) off work this week. But at least I discovered that I'd cocked up last weekend. That was how I was able to take this Friday off to grab the Beemer - my calender was miracluously clear....

**Roj** · 24th July 2010, 21:43

There was a section that had road works signs on it, I could not tell the difference between that part and the gravel roads before and after the signs
