Day Two


Great nights sleep and 6.00am see;s in the new day..............
Coffee's , chat and some even went for a queit walk as we await the arrival of Spider. Half an before it's time to ride it's a glance at the sky and into the leathers...........NO rain thus far : ) .

With seven bikes today rangeing from the mighty 800 to a new 1700 Voyager we headed out bloody near on the stroke of 11 am, a gas stop and let;s not discuss the price of petrol.

headed out of Palmerston north past Massey Universty on the left and Centennial Lagoon on the right was a great way to start what was to become a very sceanic day. On wards to the top of the Pahiatua track where it's time for a pic.....


Loverly bit a road
blowing er tit's off up there !! So it was on the bikes and down a great little second , third gear road that just begs an ear to the pipes. Saddle road to The Windfarm.
Parked in the gravel.


This wind farm is bloody impressive~!Each Wind turbine produces enough power for 700 homes and is a great way to harvest power from a renewable source .
Just arrived

Awesome rideing

A crop of Kale
Naked sheep , boy....mention Toa,s name and do the ears come up <GBG>
