Turned out to be a good ride, with only a few showers. I really liked the food. Turns out they're into organic stuff. That bacon clearly came from a happy pig. Got quite a bit of gravel in on the return trio. Kaipara Hills, Old Kaipara Rd, Welch Access, Burnside, Makarau and one I forgot. The Shinko is hooking up nicely.Came across and accident on Old North road. A cruiser rider didn't make a corner by the looks of it. Looked a bit pale around the gills. I hope he was alright, there were plenty people there already. The bikes are filthy, again! The last wash was a waste of time. Next ride to Puhoi will see them get dirty again.
