Sunday around the track

Great weather for a ride. I meet up with Alan and we headed up SH2 and over the hill. At Maungamaire we turned off and went over the Paihiatua Track to Palmerston North. The first stop was ANZA and a look at a few new bikes. Left our bikes and gear at ANZA and went down the road for some lunch. Then it was home via SH1. The total trip was 320kms. Left home at 1035 and got home at 1635. Fuelled up at home first and got all the way back with some petrol in the tank.

Friday pm

Another excellent day in Welly. I worked in the morning and in the afternoon went for a ride with Alan over the paikok hill and back around SH1.

Nice ride and catch up with 2 other riders at the lookout.

Easter Sunday Morning

A very nice day. This was to be a solo ride.
Left home at 0920 and headed to Martinborough. At Martinborough I took the back road to Gladstone and then the loop back to Martinborough. No stops until Featherston for fuel and then up to the summit. Dismounted and chatted to a couple of KB riders before heading home.

Arrived home at 1313hrs having covered 222kms at a moving average of 82.1kms. It was a very nice ride.

Saturday 91Km around the block.

There are not many short rides. From home down the gorge and onto SH2, up to Haywards, over the Paekakariki Hill Road and back home via SH1. That was a short ride mid Saturday afternoon. No time to ride this Sunday so this was it.

The last TCWNR 11/12 Summer

Daylight saving finishes this weekend. There was no rain, has been wet most weeks, so I went for the ride. I left last and took a video of the departure. After that I headed over to Featherston. On the way back I was there were 5 riders behind me and I let them pass. So I was last off the hill.

Video and pics to upload over the weekend.

Friday and Saturday commutes

There is nothing like the convenience from taking the bike into the city. Plenty of parking and it is free. Friday; 2 trips. Saturday; 1 trip to buy an Apple TV which is the reason I didn't get out for a ride on this fine and warm Saturday afternoon.

Crash on TCWNR

Wednesday 14 March. It was nice weather for a ride and by the time I left the Duck Pond there were 31 bikes.

I headed off early so I could get some video of the riders on the hill. The spot chosen was on the first passing lane up the hill. Most of the bikes flew past and I got some good video. Then a bike and rider came back to tell me there had been a crash on corner just past where I was. Rider was okay and I got some video and stills.

After that I headed home.

Another week ended in a weather bomb

Saturday and a real storm. Not going out of the house today.
Yesterday I took the bike out for a run to the Hutt and a return via Haywards, Mana and SH1.
Wednesday night was the Wednesday night ride TCWNR. On this ride I went to Upper Hutt with the group and then headed back home via Haywards and SH1.

My posts to this blog have been a little dismal as I have really not got the time or inclination to post much but do want to keep a diary of rides.

The bike odo reads 31510kms.
