...and this is the sort of thing I was talking about earlier...Mark Waters did the same thing or the Cape ride and was big help in other aspects of the ride. As when the lads walked the Anna home in the wee hours, just showed me and others that its all worth the effort when everyone does thier bit.

here here! nice feeling of family when everyone is watching out for others whether it be checking roads, special toilet stops, encouraging those who a bit shy on the road and escorting wee females in the dark. it's brilliant stuff! i dont get the same support from my bio family

Haha I shall save my stories for the camp fire, and I shall make an extra big smooth batch then. It sits on the tounge for just the right amount of time and then melts down the throat.

Haha it wasn't so dark with my torch, though that big bad possum seemed to like it.

Ok - not a native to Aucks - which one is the Papakura autobahn and how long is it going to take me approx to get there from Greenlane?

Roughly 2 hours, depends on which way you go.

You can take the motorway and then it will only take you 15-20mins, but that is no fun!!

hmmmm - sleep extra long and take 15 -20 sounds good to me, still a few hours riding to taupo, so yup, sleep wins

Really? you have probably stopped there before...its the BP/McDonalds truck stop thing on the southern M/Way just past the Karaka off ramp.
Similar to the one at Dairy Flat.
The Autobahn is a Cafe' next to McD's.
The ride to Taupo is approx 300 kms from there.

Its where you met me on ride to Matamata (we had Maccas there) after you pulled off the motorway in Papakura to get gas when you thought I was ignoring you and going to make you run out

[Boots]

All this talk makes me wish even more we could go (family stuff keeping us back).

Will be thinking about you guys and looking forward to the next one.

Maha and Mom, you guys are awesome for organising these rides!
And so is everyone else for their contributions (even if it's just white sauce )

I'm all good, just quietly sitting here with a look one may give to a bunch of teens just discovering the meaning of white sauce

[Newbi]

Jeeze people what's with all the white sauce speak, until I have a wad of it on my plate, I refuse to believe all the hype
