A bit of fun
Okay, so it's not bike related but it was a blast. Over the last few weeks Cookie and a local engineering firm have been building a soap box derby racer which finally got it's first outing on Saturday.
There was all sorts of machinery on show and the emphasis was on fun for all the kids both young and old. We new before we even started that we had a quick kart but it was good to see it up against some of the more competitive karts.
Cookie got in a couple of runs while Stefan & myself had 1 a piece. Cookie got stuck behind some traffic but both Stefan and I managed to run away with pretty easy wins. Here's a wee video with some pics of the construction, the competition and the racing!

Sunday Pootle
Another reasonably nice day so the little red bike was dragged out of the shed for a quiet pootle. I met up with Owl & Pegasus in town before heading off over the track for a bit of fun. Had a bit of a blast over the hill with Owl right behind me and after stopping briefly to let the little Suzuki catch up we get on heading into Pahiatua.
In Pahiatua we met up with Sarge and I had a coffee while the others had what looked like quite a nice feed at the Black Stump. As we were leaving there was the odd little spit but it never came to anything worse.
The return trip took us back into Woodville and then up over the saddle. The saddle was a bit damp in places and as there hadn't been any proper rain, quite slippery. This and quite a few vintage cars on the road slowed the ride up a little but the Ashhurst side was a bit drier and a nicer ride. Good to get a little ride in before the end of the weekend and the dreaded return to work...
