    Life's a beach

    The idea to take a ride out to Shelly Beach today was well worth the initial thought.
    I chose Wainui rd through to Waitoki/Kaukop, nice bit of road and going that way also gave me a couple of chances to brush up on my hill starts (thanks to fluro vest wearing traffic controlers)
    Bit chilly at Shelly Beach but very nice all the same.
    Chicken burgers are not as good as Puhoi's but did the job.
    Called in to see the Kumu Kid on the way home, cheers Ned you make coffee as good as I do..
    SH17 is in a shocking, really needs some attention from Fulton Hogan....

    Whoah. That's the picture of freedom right there.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Dang, I knew I should have taken up the offer for a ride this morning instead of coming in to work.

    Mind you ol' captain slow here might have held you up a bit.

    I live in hope! Just have to get a bone density scan done now to see how bad the Osteoporisis is and whether it has improved.

    Well think about the money you are saving on fuel, insurance, registration and wear and tear of your bike

    What a lovely day to be swaning around the place, bit chilly in the shade and that wind chill was brrrrrrrrrrrr, but the company was out standing There is a neat set of curves heading into Shelly Beach that made me wish I was on my own bike, but that can wait till my head wants to function properly again. Thank you lovely man, and Ned that coffee was very nice Take that, as Mark makes the best coffee in the world

    Its a lovely spot Genie, really it is.
    Pic 3 is looking back to Helensville and blow my cone, if you keep walking off the end of the pier and keep walking, you will end up at Kaukopakapa (not that you will know where that is) but a local told me that. My bearings were truely not with me as I questioned it.
