Early start, different start point, please note:0900 from BP Dairy Flat, in other words the Northbound Motorway Service CentreThis retread visit to Parua Bay Tavern was requested, so here it be. After a pub lunch (not to be confused with a "liquid" lunch, which is something none of us would contemplate while riding, surely) I will sacrifice my Ocean Beach body surfing this year to the cause of taking you over the Mt Tiger Road to return to Whangarei. I've been over it in the cage with the Librarian, and thought, "What a waste of an excellent road to be sitting in a car, instead of on a bike." I need to fix that.
