Manawatu weekend rides

[ynot slow]

Thanks is a small word but what more can you say,sometimes the old 6th sense is there to be listened to,imagine riding and blacking out,doesn't bare the thought.Must say when I got to hw2&50 was thinking I'd be struggling to get there before the group,the last thing I expected was a text and voice message saying you'd decided to have a sleep,also apparently beating the shit out of small dimpled white balls with a club is good remedy.Glad all is fine,and don't upset the nurses,I gotta go in in 3 weeks.

mint!!!! sun looks a bit strong! would it be better west to east?

The time of day was getting on and considering the time of year....I'm guessing that the sun was getting a bit low, given summer I think the sun won't be an issue, no more than any other road anyhow. I didn't find it a problem on the ride maybe the camera was bit sensitive to it

Yeah, the sun only annoyed me on a couple of occasions. Camera angle probably was a factor.

But it Depends on where you are heading too

Yesterday I did the following wanganui,Fordell,Hunterville,Vinegar Hill,Beaconsfield,Apiti,Pohangia Valley east,Manawatu Gorge,Balance,Mangamarie,Masterton,Rimutakas,Welli ngton

afternoon was best for these roads Fordell,Hunterville,Vinegar Hill,Beaconsfield,Apiti,Pohangia Valley east,some roadside ice and damp patches in all corners on the southern side of hills where the sun don't reach,some loose metel and works on Pohangia valley east road but still a good ride,Apiti to kimbolton some road works and ice and grit in the twistie's by the kimbolton intersection......A few road repairs between fordell and hunterville vinegar hill had some damp patch'es but still a good run

Gorge was ok and balance had too watch for the wset spots in the shadows
