Check Point Ride

A little  ride of 83Km to collect photos of 2 check points for the 1000k upcoming ride.  It has been a while since I rode the Hayabusa and that ride tested my clutch hand;  I need to get ride fit.

Another country road.

Cool morning ride

A good Hawke Bay frost this morning.  The bird bath still had ice in it at 11.00am.  My ride was to the sea; there was very little swell and no wind.  The road between Hastings and Napier had many sections with 50 and 30kph temporary limits.

Ulysses HB Easter Ride

A short Sunday ride.  We gathered at BP Stortford Lodge and left for the ride at 1040am.    The ride included SH50, Fernhill and the back road to Bayview.  At stop at Bayview to collect the stragglers and then to Deanos cafe in Taradale via Church Road.   I had a glass of coke and then headed home via Meeanee and Napier.

Total ride of a little over 100km.

Tuki loop - sigh

Another shortish ride and the best parts of the ride had been recently resealed.   Very poorly resealed - may I add - and fine loose metal all over the place.  So that was a slow ride but with added wheel spin on limited acceleration to add to the event.   However it was  a nice day, with a typical Hawkes Bay day of warm temps and not a cloud in the sky.

Ride stats:  44Km,  47mins, Ave 55km/hr

Blue Guard Easter Run

The Hawkes Bay Blue Guards ran an Easter Charity ride today from Havelock North.  The ride was due to run from Havelock North, up Middle Road and back around Tuki Tuki to Napier.  As the ride was scheduled for noon I couldn't fit that in.  Instead I started the ride at 0800 but 10km down Middle road turned back as too much fog.   I finished with a ride to the sea and back via Clive.

At 1130 I meet up with the start of the ride and then went home.

It has been a bit late logging this ride.
