Auckland Cycle Touring Association
A very beautiful
ride, through picturesque country and over
3 rewarding hills. Several kilometres of gravel thrown in
for added fun.
5 riders did this ride.
Between them they would have had in excess of 300 years living.
You would think
they would have checked the weather radar
before going setting out.
Here's the images
for 6:00 a.m., 9, and noon.
The 3:00 a.m. image showed the rain just south of Whangarei.

They could have confirmed the satelite images.

Wolfgang risked
drowning his camera to capture the joy of
descending the gravel road in to Pakiri.
Here's Mike and Bryan.

Followed by Pelham
and John McK.
Looks like the camera was starting to feel the rain.

At Pakiri school
we had lunch under the shelter of the sun shade.
At least, here, it was only wet where the water was steadily soaking through.

At the end of the
day we all agreed we had had a great ride.
Well - what else could we say??
Tell you what - the hot showers when we got home were fantastic.
