The original plan
for Sunday was to ride over the Pahiatua Track, but the choice was made
to go via Saddle Road and have a look at the wind farm up there.
The departure from Palmerston North was about 7:15am.

"Man!! You should have seen the one that got away!!"
Unfortunately, the audience does not seem too interested in fishy stories.
Maurice's sprained
ankle was NOT a cycling injury.
He slipped on the step of a public loo.
As has been said, "To not cycle because it is "dangerous" is like not eating, to avoid food poisoning."
