A wee get together

A few weeks ago there was a bit of chit chat amongst a few of the local kiwibikers that we hadn't had a get together for a wee while and that the situation should be remedied.  Slowly a plan was pieced together and yesterday was set as the date for the meet.

With a fair bit of rain on Saturday and during the night it looked like a damper was going to put on the ride but by the time I dragged myself out of bed the sun was out and things were looking good!  The plan was to meet up in Sanson for brunch and then we could fight over decide on a wee pootle afterwards.

I rode over to Sanson by myself and by the time I rocked up just about everyone was there and after ooing and arring over the assorted bikes we made our way in sample the fare and talk crap put the world to right.  It was good to catch up with a few I hadn't seen for a while and to meet a few new faces.

After brunch we were led on a magical mystery tour by Barry which took in a lot of back roads in and around Fielding and Halcombe.  Check out the route!

On returning to Fielding it was time for some to make their way home while a few of us still had not had enough and decided to ride the Halcombe road through to SH1 and back before pausing in Fielding again for a drink and the final good-bye.

Roadside discussion in Fielding - where next?

All in all it was a good turn out and a pretty nice autumn day for a quiet pootle in the countryside.  More rides are planned in the future...
