Louise and Josca Get Married

It was nice to be traveling again with Emily and BB as we headed up to The Hokianga for Louise and Josca's wedding. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful and heartwarming event. They put on a great wedding and a great party at the reception in Kohu Kohu. It was nice to be on stage again and performing with Emily and BB.

Next morning, after sleeping in a couple of hours beyond what we planned, we just made it onto the ferry in time to take the west coast road south through the kauri forest and back to Auckland.

Larry's Trial

I took advantage of a fine weather day to ride The Beast south for a couple of hours to watch Larry compete in a vintage trials bike competition. Larry has been doing this for years on his Triumph Tiger Cub but this was my first time see it in action. I was impressed by how physical this is for the riders, even though it is more of a skills test than a speed one. If you look at the photos, Larry is the one with the red helmet.

It was a lovely day for a ride through some of beautiful rural New Zealand.
