[Dooly]

Ha! I beat you all home.

What a fuckin comedy of errors.

Prob best next time we all know the route or we all leave together.

For those that don't know I got lost!

Was saddling up at the gas station in Taupo, half of us had gone, just a few left getting ready to go.
My helmet clip got caught and jammed on my neck warmer, so had to take it off, and try and free it. Meanwhile the helmet ripped a wire out of my ear piece for the radar.
By the time I got the helmet sorted, and realised that the earpiece was rooted, it was 5 mins and all had gone!
Was hoping someone realised I was behind and would wait up the road.

Fuck!!!
I dont know where we're going!
Went thru Taupo, thought, shit, which way?
Went to Wairaki, hmm....thats the way to Tokoroa, cant be around the lake that way.
Turned around, must of gone via Acacia bay, thats all lakey.
Damn, 2 turnoffs to Acacia bay!!!!

Took one, took me out of the town, stopped.
Thats when I txt Rob. Thought, no point phoning he'll be on the bike, won't hear.
Carried on, got to main drag of Acacia bay, followed a main drag along the lake.
Cool, thats the way surely.
10 mins of riding......dead end road.
FUCK!

Check phone, nothing.

So about now 25 mins has passed.
Figured they're all long gone, even if I pick the right road, I cant risk going full out to catch them on roads I dont know and not being able to hear the detector.
Fuckit.

I'm lost, dont know the route, no point but fly the white flag and head for home.

Went back to Taupo, stopped at Dick Smith, got a new earpiece, fuck riding over that road without radar.
Good call.
Bacon car around a bend after a long staright.
Picked the sucka up after passing a long line of cars.

Gave the bike absolute shit all the way back.
Prob got about half a dozen *555 calls in my honour.
Especially in the uphill passing lanes.
Was good.

Oh well, at least I got a good ride out today, did 400 kms.
Bit sore in the hip so maybe just as well I did'nt do the full job, as was really glad to get home!
The feed at stag park was a goody tho.

Hope you had a good one guys.

Oh Steve & Rob, you phone calls did'nt show up on my phone until I got home, as I checked in Taupo and only a txt from Rob saying you were at Whakamoe? Wherever the hell that is.
