Windy Tag

So after a beautiful sunny week in which I rode the Tenere to work 4/5 times (would have been 5/5 but I needed the car on Monday) the weekend has disappointed somewhat.  Both days have been reasonably fine but with a cold wind a blowing and as I type this it is beginning to look like rain - nice...

Anyway, enough whinging, I did manage a quick ride today to go out and nab Owl's tag.


I got blown around a little but the tag was probably less than 10km from my place...

Who wants a Super Duke when you can have a Super Connie!
My next job was to find the new tag and I took in a few back roads trying to look for something interesting to use.  I somehow found myself in Opiki but rather than take a picture of another school I turned off onto Tane Road where I eventually found a road sign that might prove tricky to find...


When I got home and posted the pics in the Tagorama thread I discovered that someone else was out there tag hunting: https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/104968-Tag-o-rama!?p=1131072857#post1131072857

Well, at least I bet him eh?  But then:

No flies on Phil...
It definitely must have been a tricky tag then: it took Phil 51 minutes to get it and post up...

  1. Nice run out - doesn't look busy! The last couple of days have been weird up here. I was due to do some coaching in Auckland yesterday but it was a full gale with intermittent rain between Coro and Auckland so coached in the Hamilton area instead which was warm and sunny. Today, the weather was crap again!

  2. Sounds like your tag photo was far too easy

    1. Nah, not too bad. The fastest time we've had for finding one is 11 minutes.

  3. Photo tags were always a good excuse to get out for a quick ride. Our local forum has kind of dissolved and you can hear crickets chirping it has been so long since someone has posted. Good on you guys for keeping the tags going.

    1. Ours is a bit like that and FB seems to have taken over from the forums a bit. I think you need to go for a ride and take your camera...
