It felt prefer it’d been ages since I would ridden a motorbike and after I threw a leg over the T7 on Good Friday and hit the gravel I used to be decidedly wobbly for some time.
I would ridden out to Pohangina after which climbed up Finnis Highway the place the corrugations had been fairly unhealthy and the highway would not actually permit you to go quick sufficient to easy them out.
From there I hit Ridge Highway and I nonetheless hadn’t actually received my head across the gravel. I used to be blaming the gravel, the entrance tyre and all kinds of issues however a variety of it needed to be a rusty me.
Not less than I had the highway just about to myself as I carried on in the direction of Apiti.
Relatively than visiting the delights of Apiti, I turned on the finish of Ridge Highway to absorb Makoura Highway the place the primary little bit of gravel heading up the hill was a delight. The earlier days rain had settled it down properly and the bike left some good marks in it as I gassed it up the hill.
The trip dwelling by way of Pohangina Highway was extra of the identical with principally good quick gravel apart from the final bit close to Pohangina (usually in nice nick) which was a bit deeper than regular.
Only a fast little 110km trip in principally (the odd little spit right here and there) to kick off the lengthy weekend. Find it irresistible!
