About 1:00pm after Hawky had helped me to get the rear wheel on the bike I was off.
I would like to thank Hawky and his wife very much for getting me out of an awkward situation.
I rode over the Kaimai ranges and turned left into Poripori Rd near the Ruahihi powerstation.
Then on to Athenree where I met up with Rodders and Hil at there beach bach.
We went up the road to a friends place and had a good dinner/bbq.
