The club ride yesterday was pretty good, but I felt like I needed something else. So I set of this morning in search for a bit of gravel. Although it's getting harder to find it is still there if you have a closer look. I thought I'd check out the Tapora area which is located on a Kaipara peninsula just before Wellsford. Along the way I took in what ever gravel roads I could find. On the way home this included the Kaipara Hills road and a few others with lunch at Puhoi. I check out some of the work on the motorway bridge and finally emerged at the Auckland side of Riverhead forest. The weather was a mixed bag, but all of a sudden I realized that I much prefer wet gravel roads to wet tarseal roads. I was quietly hooning along having a great time. The roads were littered with loose fill which had been dumped as part of road maintenance, usually I find this annoying, but today it was all part of the fun. The Basic is now covered in backed on mud and cow poo, but I'll have time to clean that tomorrow. Here are a few pictures. If you are on dial up you won't enjoy this, sorry.
