I was tempted to go, before reality bit me. I can't get leave, and my body's not up to it, so I'd have to have multiple stops on the way.

just got back from the ride in from the police college.

Couldn't go onto parliament due to work.

Absolutely awesome is all I can say. Was not expecting to see that many bikes.

Reckon there are a few thousand bikes from that direction alone (there is also the lot coming in from the hutt and bikers already in wellington).

Ride in was great - no idiots, lots of waving pedestrians and not too many cars - quite a few ruddy great trucks for some reason though.

Good effort.

Yeah I know how you feel. My arse was sore during the Saturday protest so it would have been murder riding to Welly. I need to pamper my fat arse with a new seat. As has been mentioned the RF's seat looks comfy but it sure ain't.
The long distance stuff is something I need to shape up for.

The 3 News video said wrapping up at 2pm so I guess there's not much point me heading to Wellington now?
