    Morning ride

    Coupla pics from this morning's destination - Raglan...

    It was better in real life TBH, but as an early morning destination, it has a lot going for it - interesting road over and a wee gem of a place before breakfast.

    Stop investing in silly gizmos for the bike and get a decent camera.

    Very picturesque but you're supposed to get a pic with your bike in it!
    Cats land on their feet. Toast lands jamside down.
    A cat glued to some jam toast will hover in quantum indecision


    Curiosity was framed; ignorance killed the cat

    Fix a computer and it'll break tomorrow.
    Teach its owner to fix it and it'll break in some way you've never seen before.

    I have one. But it's easier to carry the phone...and anyway, I don't invest in silly gizmos...I waste money on silly gizmos...

    I've already used that view as a tag (or one very close to it)...

    What time were you in Raglan this morning? I live in Raglan, think I saw you go past my house about 8am. Rode to Hamilton at 10am and got held up, one of the wind farm transporters had crashed.

    Nah - not me - I was earlier than that. Blacksand wasn't open yet. I left to come back around 7.20am...

    BTW, where did the transporter crash?

    How do you manage to drag yourself out of bed that early?!

    Thank you hellokitty...

    Do you lick faces like my cat does..? 'cause if...err...um...oops:...never mind...coughcough

    I also get up early so I can ride - I start work at 11.00am and finish 7 or 7.30 or 8...so it's either ride in the morning or ride in the dark after a day's work. Good early morning ride sets the day up...

    Plus old buggers wake early anyway and need less sleep...

    At an intersection between Whatawhata and the deviation, think it was Glentui lane. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/4439...-blade-crashes The trailer was on top of the armco when I saw it.

    Was it just the transporter or was another vehickimickle involved? That's a bugger anyway that intersection - I have had the odd arse-twanging moment there myself...
