What time?

Nailz, I do opologise for not waiting right to the stated time. I had been there since 8.45 and by the time I left, a bit before 9.30. no one had showed so I thought "Buggar this, I'm going". Have sent a private message to you,

As for the run, it was neat. Light rain and drizzle for much of it ( 140 miles, k's?). I think the rain added something to the trip. Now to look for a pair of rainproof trousers.

The road from Piopio thru Aria, Mokauiti rd is brilliant. My 1st time through here, Ramaroa rd to HW4 fairly rough and patchy.

Have included a few photos taken on the Mairoa rd above Piopio, The Aria hotel??

and looking back at the country form the Ramaroa rd with the rain sweeping across. the valley.

Is your Hyosang a cruiser or the sports model? I'm free most afternoons/evenings for rides. Not much interested in riding around town. Far nicer to do a ride on the country roads.

cruiser type, nothing compared to yours though. im still building up my confidence on open roads so i get the cornering right.

Anybody doing this ride? I thought I might trundle along - according to Metservice, the weather should be favourable...
