Another small turn out last night but obviously it didn't detract from the ride.
Punchy, Bogan, Meanie and myself. I took the led at an easy pace with Meanie as TEC. A bit of trizzle but not enough to effect the road surface at all, with a mild breeze to consider when aproaching the corners. On the road to Mangamirei the river had cut into the bank and half the road had vanished. Something to be aware of if you are out that way. There is a set of traffic lights (was a bit of surprise out in the middle of nowwhereville) and work is underway for a new section of road to be constructed. Quite a bit of cow shit on the backroad to Pahiatua. All made back to the centre of the universe without incident. Thanks guys.

Wondered what the spannering was about. Nice to see another well used Honda out and about. Just got a new rear tire today. Wof in a few weeks time so pays to be ahead of the game. Also new fork seals for the twin disk conversion I'm going to do on Le Trog (the CX).

Was indeed a good route, another new one for me to file away in my mind.
Yeah, the mid ride spannering was pure class. As was the confused look on Bonez' face when confronted with traffic lights. That might as well have been on the moon.

Gonna have to take an injury day, a very small portion of my finger is still in the shed somewhere. Trouble is not in that it is missing, but it was stopping the red stuff leaking out.

Cant make it for 2 weeks, due to a birthday dinner tomorrow (if I come our guests wont eat), and next week we are off to do Taranaki Relay (150kms around Egmont)

Have a good ride everyone, I will make one very soon
