Twas a lovely day for a ride today!

This weekend with husband and Ripper Roo92 away, and daughter at work for 5 hours I decided to treat myself to a great ride to Thames this afternoon. After the crap weather of late it was a perfect day to head out. I left a little later than I anticipated (2.15) and as I was riding I realised that I'd miscalculated the time for the return trip - my destination was Tapu (on the way to Coromandel) and a good 20 minutes extra beyond Thames. So at the end of it I saw my friend for 45 minutes in the middle of 3 hours on the road! Would I have done this in the car? No way. Would I do it again on the bike? You bet. A great day!

Feck yeah. Went for a blatt around town with a friend on his bike today, which was good, but a proper long ride would have been awesome.

Good on ya for getting out and enjoying it.

Thanks. Heaps of bikes out. Sun shining, cool breeze on trip over (bit windier coming home!), the Thames coast road was gorgeous, had a nice (but brief) conversation with another biker at the Mobil station just inside Thames - he was heading to Coro as I was heading back to Auck, long stretches where i could just open the bike up and get past the cars. Oh, a wasp managed to get inside my visor just as i went through Totara - how it got in there i have no idea - but as i opened it a little it got blown out. Had all the good vibes going for me! [just hoping that no unwelcome little letters come in the mail from Mr. you-know-who!]
