Saturday 16th

I awoke to a damp overcast day but was going out regardless as it was the Travis Wetland Planting.  I headed off around Claredon Tce onto Radley St to the end and then skipped through Bromley and Ruru Lawn Cemterys and headed over to the meeting point by ITM on Dyers RD.  Getting a light drizzle so put my jacket on while waiting for Dozer.  Discovered Map my ride had not started so got that fixed.  When Dozer arrived we headed through the ponds turning right into Bridge Street and then onto the track around the estuary to Brighton.  Over to Rawhiti Domain and then down the alleyways to Pacific Rd and then onto Beach Rd.  At Broadpark we headed down the track along the beach.  Weather was holding out and just before the single track we both took off jackets.  We rode the single track out to Spencer Park with us each taking turns to set the pace. Rode through the motorcamp and then back to singletrack swapping lead after each stage.  All the way back to where we hit the beach.  Stopped to chat with April a friend before heading down Beach road to the planting.  Great weather now and what a great turnout for the planting.  After the plants were planted and the food was finished we headed off down the road along QE2 drive then down Wainoni Road onto Ottawa, Huron, Vancouver and out to Dozers.  I continued on for a round trip of 44km.

The boys rode on Sunday but I have had no report.
