Who can skive off work in Wellington today?

[Eurygnomes]

Okay...so it's REALLY late notice (like F/F up there in them northern parts) but HELLO!!! Have you looked out your window??

AND it's Friday afternoon!

My place (on the front of the Dom Post today) has it's midwinter christmas lunch. After that, I'm planning on heading home and picking up Gem (had to bring the car today).

Then I was thinking of heading north up to the beach perhaps. I haven't yet been out on the motorway and wouldn't mind some moral support (read: other bikes around me).

Any takers? Only thing is - the social life starts at 5:30 - so I mustn't go out for TOO long!!! :) (oh - and on a GN250, it's not gonna be crazy speeds).

Str8?? CSL?? Jim??

[James Deuce]

Maaaan!

That is sooooooo tempting, but I am far too busy at work today.

Next time!

[pyrocam]

its nice as up here too. hope you get a good ride in

[crashe]

enjoy your ride...... just go for it...
there shouldnt be too much traffic out on the Wellington motorways at this time of day...

Just been out on my bike to get something sorted on it. (Thanks Speedpro)

But will go out later today.... have to babysit for a few hours first.

[Paul in NZ]

Damn thats tempting but.... Work coming out my ears.. No hang on... Thats ear wax but I'm still busy busy!

Vicki and I will go for a quicky on saturday though!

[Beemer]

I'm in Levin, don't fancy heading south on a Friday and getting stuck in the traffic heading north again later! You should ride to Foxton Beach and have a latte at Simply Balmy - I could meet you there!

[Jay widda 150]

wo :no: uld but bike outta action

[Sparky Bills]

Would love to.
Can you ring my boss and ask if its ok??? :whistle:

[poorbastard]

Buga Buga Buga should have read posts before taking on work this arvo :weird: Oh well have fun anyway

[Eurygnomes]

Okay dudes and dudettes.

Here's the plan: I'm gonna head downstairs and have lunch. 12-2 (max).
Check computer see if anyone's decided, "bugger the work, I'm off"
Go home, grab Gem.
Leave Wellington by way of the Terrace/Motorway onramp (could meet people somewhere if suggested?) at approximately 2:30pm.
Head up to Paraparaumu Beach (motorway).
Then pretty much turn around and come back maybe go along Whitby way around the bay and then back to Wellinton on opposite motorway for some wiggly bits. (counter peak traffic - so not too scary or slow).

If ANYONE wants to tag along/join in: 021 715 740 to let me know to meet you wherever!

Nomes :)

P.S. Sparky...what's his number? And am I allowed to mention mental instability clauses in employment protection agreements?

[skidz]

Hope you get out there and have a good ride. Must have brunch, then be off on my bike as well.

[Slingshot]

That sounds like a great idea....but like Jim...I too am way to busy.

Maybe next time.

[Eurygnomes]

Hmmm...giving it some thought - maybe instead of going all the way to beach - might just do a round trip around the bay at Whitby and then back into Wellignton on opposite motorway (SH2) so more experience in the wiggly bits of road too! :)

[riffer]

Damn it all. Of all the days to not call in sick....

at least I have to go sort something out at the prepress contractors.

Just how to get from Molesworth St to Wakefield St via the Rimutakas is proving difficult to justify today as well... so I guess buggering off to 'param ain't on the cards either. :whistle:

Enjoy your ride. Paremata Road or Grays Road - they are both good - I would probably recommend Paremat Road - it's a touch slower...

Its luverly out there today.

I look out the window and the Canadian Embassy haven't even bothered to put up their flag today - or is it that there's so little wind its lying flat against the pole?

What story?

[Str8 Jacket]

:mad: :mad: Oh man, I pulled a sickie and got outta work early yesterday, went to the gym then was gonna go for a decent-ish ride, but by the time I left the gym it was raining, went for a ride anyway - round the bays, only to find myself being blown around the lane by that godamn Wellington wind.
And I WAS going to pull a sickie today too . . . . :weird: Won't be able to come today waaay to much work to do! :mad:
Have an awesome ride tho Nomes, hope you get someone to join you!! :ride:

[sels1]

Hey Nomes, I get out of work today at 3.30 at Paraparaumu so could hook up with you anywhere you suggest. If you come up the motorway I could so show you the way back over the Paekak hill (at yr pace of course)

[sels1]

Vicki and I will go for a quicky on saturday though!

Want company?

[Paul in NZ]

I'm at home sick (yes, really).....

Weather here (L/Hutt) looks lovely, have a good ride. (I don't like riding my bike when I'm not feeling 100% or else I'd be tempted to join you!)

Can't make todays ride but if anybody is interested weather permitting I'll be going out over the hill sometime this weekend.

[Timber020]

Might ride tomorrow

[Hitcher]

Yeah. I'm ready now. Full moon too. Ah-woooo, werewolves of Ngaio... And if I had hair, it would be -- perfect.

Mmmmm. Maungaraki dairy owners...

[Paul in NZ]

May I join you?

No! Go away.....

Aw.... OK then...

Fark I had FUN at work today.. My little group hustled our arses off, got let down by another team so at 5pm there was a meeting of the sub 40 car club (R/C cars costing less than $40) and I was the last man standing! I stripped diff, one stripped steering, one buggered electrics... woo hhoooo!

Can't wait for summer so we can go up on the roof...

Moved on into the lounge (at 6pm) we built (my team using left over stuff) and pumped up the stereo, hooked in the PS2 and the young guys kicked my arse over a couple of beers...

:-)

Life doesn't have to work to rules pre-supposed by those who have their own perception of how such things work.

None of your business, or Kiwibiker's either.
