I will go to the start and see who turns up.
Brilliant ride tonight with Peter.
Tigadee poped into the pub after so we fixed the worlds problems.
Yes it was quite wet this morning - I even put my overgloves on. Uncomfortable as, but they kept my gloves dry a treat. Boots were probably dry in half an hour after I took them off - only the outside since the inside never got wet. A good pair of modern waterproof boots shouldn't leak at all. I swear by Gaerne boots (Italian made quality ). I'm not really into the sport style ones, but my Altus boots are great. I loved them so much I bought a second pair - my first pair isn't really worn out, but they do get a bit damp inside in the summer so I thought it would be good to have a spare pair so I could let them really dry out properly. I hammer them pretty hard - wearing them every day - rain or shine. Never put anything on them - but occasionally clean them if I get them muddy. I got my last pair in Rotorua since there aren't many stockists up here now. First pair I made the mistake of getting them too small - I thought they should be a firm fit like shoes that will stretch. But they don't really give much and they don't need to be tight on like boots you might do a lot of walking in. I think they were around $350. I wouldn't spend less than about $250-$300 on a pair of boots if you're going to wear them every day. The first ones I bought when I got back into riding seemed like good value for about $200, but they fell apart after 6 months - and they leaked. I went to Gaerne and I've never looked back.
Looking for a leader and route. Hands up.
F2dz, this is the email address to book your spot. Some hold up with entry forms. colleenryanthompson@gmail.com
Looks like I will be doing the MotoTT day at Taupo the week before as well.
Nope – the rain encouraged me to stay indoors. Will be going this weekend instead.
Cool, thanks for that, have sent an email to them. Is MotoTT a bit more full on? I wouldn't mind going to Taupo but think I'll be waiting til the end of the season to do that.
