Well there it is. Wat a start to the day eh. Bluebird skies and a health trip of granola and yogurt, and we set out for the hill. Toady was gonna be the last time we were gonna sk8 the Mungamukas and we weren't about to go easy. The runs where fast and tight. Being Monday morning there were a bunch more trucks makin their way to or from the job! All good, 1 truck - 10 truck. Got busy with some filming too! Jaco gets out and sets up while the rest of us get to froth on the fast sweeping turns. Api loves showin us down this one. He's always up there in the lead group or makin his way from the back. Its a great hill for fast lines and drafting! The pavement for the most part is sticky and banked and the less deece pavement wasn't at all hard to ride.
One of Bodhi's (Last year's Tour Driver) mates, Dan the Maori, rocked up outta the blue had a hell chinwag, frothed a little, followed us down a run or two then had to bounce. Good to meet one of the locals. With that be done, the general movement was headed in the direction of "The testicle facility". This was one of the high lights from last year for sure. Its gonna be good. Better than good. Api has won the only race held there and he's looking forward to showin us the goods!
(Meow you may remember it from last year... I'm excited to see what this year brings.)
Cam is still sick and Speedy was aiming to get him to the caravan park before we hit the hill. The drive at times rolled through small coastal towns and plenty of farmland. Love this country. It can go from mountain forest to rolling farmland then to coastal villages in just a few turns. That's another thing, driving in NZ is long. i mean real long. A two hour drive ends up takin the best part of 3 and some!
Getting to the campground, its getting late in the arvy and the rest of the day is better spent chillin, getting dinner ready and playin a few games of dice! looking forward to an early swim up the beach. Can't wait to get skid- ways!
