Most people who live in Auckland know about the beauty of our West Coast beaches - most have been to Piha or Murawhai, but few have been to Bethells. Paihia Pete made the trek down from Mangawhai to lead the ride, inexplicably encountering heavy traffic around Warkworth - crazy. The car park at Auckland Harley on a sunny day must be one of the hottest places in town - a great place to leave, preferably with a bunch of Harley buddies heading out on the road. As usual, the motorway was jammed up, but we weaved our 16 bikes through the slow moving traffic soon reaching the open road where we could start to enjoy the scenery and the ride. Bethells certainly is a beautiful spot, worthy of more than a brief stop for a cold drink from the cafe (semi permanent caravan) tucked into the dunes, a walk along the creek to the beach and obligitory photos. Back on the bikes and a short hop across to the Riverhead Pub to finish the ride with a cooling ale. Thanks Pete! Comments are closed.
