Yeah, it's been a while but Owl kicked things off by finally grabbing an old tag and posting up a real easy one yesterday.

Yes, Owl has a new Superduke!So, with it still up for grabs this afternoon I headed out to see if I could nab it.  It was a pretty warm day but the skies were a wee bit on the threatening side so I didn't muck around.  In places the roads were a bit wet - particularly through Waituna West and on Vinegar Hill but it was good to be out on the Vee again.

Approaching Stormy Point there was a car parked right where I needed to be for my photo so I carried on down the hill to explore a road I hadn't ridden before.  Rangitikei Valley Road goes to gravel fairly quickly and eventually ends at a farm gate so it's strictly a there and back ride.  The gravel was in good nick though!
Returning back to Rewa I turning back up the hill to Stormy Point and wouldn't you know it there was a car in my way again!  Nevermind, I got my tag.

I even put my gloves on the fence post like Owl...Looking back down towards Rangitikei Valley RoadNext on the agenda was to find a replacement tag.  I've been past this building a few times so today I had an excuse to stop.

Another easy one for the next guyNice shot, finger included...
Tag hunting complete I shot home pretty quickly just on the off chance that someone else was out there hunting down Owl's tag.  No probs, I got it and now we wait...
