Five of us and a pillion met at Pomeroy’s last week and set off for Waikawa and as the weather improves we ride further!
The weather was bright and sunny but blustery and we rode to Waikawa for lunch via Queen Charlottes Drive, the return was a little different as we were then heading directly into the wind and it certainly kept our attention being blown around. We did 270 kms 122 on the way out and 148 on the way back via Rapura Road although I think Mike came back over QCD.
As we went over the hill last week we should go over the hill again but to Takaka this time meeting at Pomeroy’s at 11 am on Wednesday (12th Sept). We can have a couple of options on the route there the longer route out to Kohatu and down the Motueka Highway or down the Coastal Highway for a shorter route although the shorter is 93 kms and the longer 154 kms so quite a bit longer. I shall be going the shorter option as my pillion was walking funny for a while after last weeks ride!!
If your intending to come along leave a note on here.
