Gravel Ride to the Dragon Fly

Just a quick report. My Basic wouldn't start this morning, so I had to take the 1150 to the meeting point. I arrived at 9 am and waited for 10 min. Then I filled up the bike at the petrol station and checked again on the way past. Nobody there. Weicheier and Warmduscher, all of them :-).As Gerda was waiting to go for a ride, I went back home again to join here for the ride to the Dragon Fly.

Dean and Barbara were there. The weather wasn't the best, but the ride was a lot warmer and more pleasant than the one to Kawhia. Gerda stayed completely dry. My boots are stuffed, but I knew that. After 2 1/2 years of use , 45000km and considering their reasonable price tag, I am not unhappy. However, I am a bit miffed with the performance of the ProWinter gloves as they leak. They cost top dollar, and had hardly any use. Unfortunately my pair didn't back this up with performance. During summer I don't bother with waterproof gloves.

Yeah, hard to beat Kawhia. I did a ride a week back and got down to 2.5 degrees, but there wasn't much rain or wind so it felt better.

Sorry Alex, I really wanted to come was all ready to go and than I looked out of the window at 7.30 and the  warm shower and some soft boiled eggs with hot coffee seemed to be that much more appealing.cheers Christoph and you can call us anything you like
