Tag o rama!

[haydes55]

(Set it at Kawhia - I like that road!)

I second that!

[slofox]

OK OK, I wasn't gonna go out there this morning but the day looked inviting and I figured I might just get to Raggers and back before the steel belt appeared through the back tyre...(it didn't).

Just so as not to rain on anyone's parade (like Silent f'rinstance...), the new tag is pretty close to the old so the ride is still there for those who want to zip over the hill. That new seal on the hill is gunna be the shizz when it's finished. Although there are a couple of seams between strips that are far from flat...


OLD TAG: Like the man said, Manu Bay

NEW TAG: Same ocean, different viewpoint.





Oh and if that's been used before, revert back to Manu Bay...

I think I know where I'm riding to tomorrow then

[sil3nt]

I think I know where I'm riding to tomorrow then

What time? I'll come

[Scream]

What time? I'll come

Gonna try around 11:30am, got a mate or two coming with me for company, but you're welcome to join in too, we're all learners though :L

[Scream]

Got the tag with a couple of a mates, with Sil3nt coming along too.

Slofox, you forgot to tell us about the copious amounts of roadworks on the way there
Long ride was long, had fun though.

OLD TAG:


NEW TAG: (taken seconds before my stand decided it likes to eat dirt.)

[sil3nt]

I could be a dick and get this on the way home as my parents property pretty much backs on to this

Thanks for letting me tag along guys! Good to see everyone riding at their own pace.

[sil3nt]

On the way back home saw a car in the ditch by the golf course about 2 metres after some roadworks straight piece of road as well. Never had so encountered so much roadworks on a ride before. Not just on the way to Raglan but also in Hamilton. Never seen so many cops either. Got breath tested on the way out by the Ham East cop station and saw 5+ cops on the way to and from raglan.

They must've heard that YOU were out there silent...

I did kinda mention it...sort of..."That new seal on the hill is gunna be the shizz when it's finished."

SH39 south of Whatawhata is also GUR at present. As is SH1 just norf of the dairy factory. That time of the year when every regional council goes all out to fix roads before winter I suppose - or maybe before their budget runs out...

Sure is a pain though, I agree...

GUR?

The parts that were freshly done were glorious to ride on :3
Ah well, even with the gravel the trip was worth it, meet new people, get my mates confidence up on the open road and most of all chips from the fisn n chip shop for lunch :P

GUR - golfing term - means "Ground Under Repair"

That hotmix sure makes a difference...

Anniversary weekend, I went on the Boyds' ride to Taranaki. Mt Messenger is all done in that stuff. Nice ride over that.

Those roads on the deviation were pretty ridiculous. Except when we got moving. Me being the proud rider (not owner, Dad payed for the bike :P) of dat sexy blue DT200, I found this most enjoyable. Especially overtaking Screams mate on his VT250. I must say, the freshly completed bits weren't terribly glorious for me, cos trail tires.

Thanks Sil3nt for tagging along, you were great company. I didn't see you leave though, but I imagine it was my legendary navigational skills around Raglan, taking us through the main street as opposed to the quicker way that you must have gone. I think we did see you ~10 cars ahead of us at one point just after Te Uku.

Yeah I turned right at the roundabout to skip town. I highly doubt you saw me after that!
