    Cool that gives me the opportunity to get some breakfast, read a paper and scratch my arse thus easing my way into the day - I'll be there at 10:00am for anyone who wants to talk shite for 15 minutes.

    Aye,

    I got home fine - found the wind a bit gusty on the Southern Motorway and was battling the odd heavy shower but then that's what it's all about innit?

    A highly enjoyable Sunday - sorry if I held you guys up too much on the outward leg.

    yea good ride

    not a bad turnout of 250's considering the weather

    twisties with mud and ditches(couldnt really call it a pothole!!!) kept things interesting...would be a very nice route to go over in the dry.

    cheers mav!

    Yep, some of the corners today were at least as deadly as the ones on the road to Piha - there are probably some other undiscoverd routes out East - need to spend an evening with some beer and some maps.

    or go on rides with the more experienced kb'ers to find em... or talk to them...

    Not knowing where you went (and you don't say publicly either) there are probably a few more... and there are a few more again, that I want to see if they are actually allowed as such (not closed or private)
