The weather on Sunday morning was iffy with showers predicted to clear later in the day. At midday I planned a ride to take in Martinborough, some back roads with a run home down the other coast.
The first stop was Martinborough for a coffee where I met up with a few other bikers. Then I headed to Gladstone via Ponatahi Road and around the Westmere Road to the Servo on the outskirts of Masterton. A stretch of the legs there and then off to Eketahuna via Mauriceville. The bike was refuelled there with 200kms and 11 Litres since the last fill.
From Eketahuna I took the Mangamaire turnoff and then over the track. The run home was down SH57 to Levin and then SH1 home.
I left home at 12.37 and got back at 5.43pm having travelled 385kms. This ride was a good test for the new leathers made for me by Sam at Celtic Leathers. The leathers fit well and were warm and comfortable.
