two sites that might be a bit of help when planning rides

for less forward checks (IE on the day/day-before of the ride etc)

The Herald? That Nazi publication? I wouldn't wipe my arse with a Herald.

If it's a poll I vote for metvuw. Following a group to Methven from here in the deep south one Friday night, metvuw reckoned I'd hit heavy showers from Pleasant Point to just S. of Methven. Geared up in Timaru and sure enough heavy rain for about 30 km. Always check out metvuw for pretty good predictions. Cheers. :calm:

Fencepost.com
I did not know there are as many good sites for weather.
I like Fencepost because it is easy to negotiate has not let me down.
With this site to get the 12 day version you must join, but this is free.
It is also simple with % rain chance and weather warnings.:sunny:
