Ulysses Ride


The Ulysses ride today was a good one. There was a good turnout of 20+ bikes and a few with pillion. The weather was excellent.

The ride was to Gladstone for lunch. The route as via: Martinborough, Martinborough to Masterton Road and the water towers loop. It was a brisk pace and most enjoyable. The S3 is running very well - it seems to have improved engine performance and sounds great. I am impressed with the acceleration kick at the higher revs.

I headed home at 1.30pm.

Photo is Barry arriving at Brown Owl - just in time.

Stats from MC computer: 277.4kms, 3.3hrs, 5.1L/100km, 77kph ave, xxxkph max.

Sunday Haywards Hill Loop

The weather had not been suitable for riding most of the week and it rained on Sunday morning. Mid afternoon I went for a ride to Alan's in Harbour View and then we headed over the Haywards Hill to Pauatahatanui where we stopped for a coffee. At 3.45pm we headed back to Johnsonville via SH1 where I went home and Alan carried on to his place.

So that was the week - one short ride.
