    How about tomorrow or Wednesday?
    Wednesday sounds good.

    Wednesday ride.

    On Wednesday, I'm going to do a ride through the back roads to Oto and onto Te Kuiti via the Rangitoto area. and back to Te A without hitting the highway. I've hammered the Waitomo side of HW3 so will stay on the eastern side of the main road.

    Had thought it may be a backup for a sunday group ride if ever needed. I anticipate about 150ks.

    If weather is crap, I'll go anyway. A good excuse to sharpen up the wet weather skills.

    Anybody wants to come along, I will leave the Caltex sv stn. at 10am.

    Actually guys, I have a snag re tomorrow - I have an appointment to attend at 9.30am here in The Tron that I had forgotten. I would probably be sensible to leave off the ride tomorrow since I am also getting ready to move out of my house. Either that or leave earlier or maybe not stop for coffee over there.

    Thursday would be OK - we could always postpone an extra day - weather looks still OK. Or Warr and Silent might like to go tomorrow anyway.

    Wotcha think?

    Went for my ride as mentioned above. A brilliant run. Down to Oto, Otewa rd, Barber rd,( tight ) Rangatoto rd into Te Kuiti, 43 miles/75's?. Great scenery.

    In behind the airstrip and along various roads back on to Otewa rd. Over Toa bridge, The road surfaces were all good. Toa bridge back to Te Kawa,( Mahihi, Ngahape rd's) fantastic, smooth sweeping bends.

    I had thought this might've been a good group ride but having done it, maybe too many turn off's. Heaps of 40-70kph corners. (on a cruiser). Big sports bikes might find the tight roads a bit slow over a long distance.

    All up about 150ks from Te Awamutu return.

    After looking at the wear on my tires and winter coming up we decided on getting a pair of Michy roads 2ct fitted.
