The_Dover

DMNTD

16th June 2006, 12:17

Those weather reports are looking pretty dodgy!
We were supposed to have a crap day up here but all I see is sun and blue skies!!
Never have trusted the weather "service"

Devil

16th June 2006, 12:23

This is the only forecast I use:
http://www.metvuw.com/forecast/forecast3day.php?type=rain&region=nzni
(thats the 3 day er).
Go to www.metvuw.com/forecast to get them all. That one is the rain radar (top right option).
You can see that as at 1200 NZST Fri, the whanga area isnt covered, but its about to turn to shite ;)

Maha

16th June 2006, 20:58

Thunder and lightning here earlier, stars now, will have my camera at the ready to take a small movie of the Zed team coming in to Wellsford, if they are all together?.... :blip:

The Pastor

16th June 2006, 21:46

Is it cool if i just hang at the back a bit? Im not a road racer by any means, Don't bother waiting for me either I know my way around etc.

Maha

17th June 2006, 07:45

So whats the verdict Zed?
Its not too bad up here at the moment, had one brief shower

Zed

17th June 2006, 07:50

Red sky in the morning...it's currently raining here in Birkenhead (and further up north i've just been texted) and there was a huge rain cloud out in the west spreading up north as far as I could see from my balcony, and yet there's blue sky trying to come through...hmmm I guess I'm gonna have to call the ride off considering I don't want to ride in the wet.

Sorry, ride cancelled. :bye:

Ps. Any of you keen ones who want to take your chances should still meet up.

Devil

17th June 2006, 07:59

I concur, the outlook from Glenfizzield is poo, but most likely very similar to what you're seeing, Zed. Have you always been in Birkenhead?

Maha

17th June 2006, 08:03

Harden up man, you are talking about up north and out west weather yet you will be heading east......:confused:
You're right tho', i can see more rain heading our way as i look out to Woodcocks, see how it it later we might still go on up

Zed

17th June 2006, 08:06

Have you always been in Birkenhead?Only for a few months Matt, I have a great view of the valley and up over the north from my apartment here.

Mrs Busa Pete

17th June 2006, 08:18

DMNTD

17th June 2006, 08:23

Well believe it or not I'm currently bathing in sunshine...naked...sitting here... :shutup:
Just finished showering earlier and it does look like it's going to hose down...bigtime.
Got many well hung....over heads here this morning and the thought of slipping 'n sliding for once does not turn me on...:wait:
On that note...I'd like to exact some revenge on a certain KBer whos Norfland Crew membership is under reconcideration....the pic's say it all...sadly
