A weekend's riding

I got home from my assault on the Four Points on Sunday afternoon having ridden about 2,400kms since leaving home on Friday morning.  The event still isn't over as I have to get my last card at the after-match function this coming weekend - then we'll know if my poker hand is any good (so far, so bad).

I'm working on a write-up for my website and will hopefully finish that off in the weekend or early next week but thought that I'd just do a very quick summary here:

Day One
- Wet until SH50 then a pretty good day as I toured around East Cape finally stopping in Katikati for the night.

Day Two
- A big day in near perfect conditions.
- Another trip on the Rawene ferry and some fuel problems in Kaitaia.
- Did a big day to make day three shorter due to bad weather forecast.

Someone else with good taste on the Ferry

Day Three
- Left Ngaruawahia in the rain - heavy at times.
- Met Brian in New Plymouth for the last leg.
- Rain stopped at Rahotu but was replaced by plenty of wind.

Well, that's enough for now, except to say that I had a blast and enjoyed the time away and I'll keep working on the final write-up...
