I think I've been out more times this February than I was last July!

Could do with a bit of Southern Hemisphere blue sky right now!
Have you ridden Queen Charlotte's Drive from Havelock to Picton?

At least I got the right island - even the right country, given the world to choose from.

Rode it the same Day.
Must have been at least 8 Roadworks on what should have been a 45 minute ride.
A couple of the works we were stationary for at least 10 minutes
We took the longer, yet quicker option on return
There have been several journeys where you think wow. Shall we do that again. We don’t. I know what “doing it again “ means. It usually ends in tears.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Yes - too long ago now, tho. Ridden most of S Island, except the Invercargill/Dunedin area, and halfway up N Island. to Taupo. Still have the top half to do - don't know if we'll manage that now, as Mrs W has developed hip/ shoulder issues which make pillioning awkward. Bah.

I'd happily have stopped twice to do the return ride down that road... it's like a sideways-on roller coaster! One of the funnest roads I've ever ridden. I've a video somewhere!Nobby wrote: Fri Feb 23, 2024 4:24 am Yes.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Nah, the bestest road so far has to be the stretch for 15ks north of Motueka on the South Island. Brand newish smooth tarmac as well.The Spin Doctor wrote: Sat Feb 24, 2024 11:11 amI'd happily have stopped twice to do the return ride down that road... it's like a sideways-on roller coaster!

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Dragged out the Zed today,but it was a waste of time. The roads were either damp or covered in muck,so the short run = hours of cleaning. That'll teach me.
