Well this Saturday just past my fine purveyor of online blogs and ASCII translations of thoughts, I had agreed previously to help a young lady to sort out a new ride that would suit her eminently vertically challenged stature. Now, as we all know, it does not take much of an excuse to make one perve longingly and with wondrous examinations of a delicate curve, the rounded form, promising much and with trembling member, we are transfixed in our winsome lusts and desire ... and explore ...
Well as I find myself unwinding from the stresses of another teaching year, I noticed my milage has alarmingly decreased from what I am wont to do! Now, this just won't do gentle reader. No, it just won't do at all. I shall put this to rights by making my usual (dis)concerted efforts into exploring the high ways, the by ways, the low ways and any ways of our fair lands. Suffice to say, I shall ride as much as I can frikk'n do! So, I shall catalogue, reference, mark, ...

Well, second night at home and I'm amazed I was able to sleep on my left side already for part of the night. While I realise that there is a world of difference between my injury count after the accident (back in March) including bruised rib cage, pulled muscles, etc. I hadn't expected to feel so good so quickly after the surgery. My shoulders are now back in alignment, and the sling I've been given to use is brilliant - one of those fancy thick felt type ones with ...
So Thursday night I cruised around to Brent's place so that we could continue putting Trini back together. I shot home from work, having bailed from the buildings Christmas bbq before I got snotted (it was hot and the beer was free and there's some cute chicks that work in this building). I just grabbed some long pants, socks etc because it'd get cold later on and I always end up being a smorgasboard for the local Mosquitos. Left there and shot around to pick up the oil that was waiting ...
Successful op yesterday. Typing with one hand so wont write too much. Surgeon was able to manipulate bone ends pretty much inline for 6-screw plate to be put in. He was pleased he didnt have to do a bone chip graft as he had wondered about. In less than 30 hours I was home again, just on panadol (and tramadol if pain levels get too high for the panadol). Have been told not to us anti inflammatories such as voltaren as it has an ingredient detrimental to bone repair. ...
Week 1 and I thought that Gill would pussy out on us because to was quite windy and overcast, but she didn't. Good on her too! The ride destination was Gill's choice and she decided to head to Paekakariki via Airley Rd in Plimmerton. Being her 1st ride since May I thought it was a bit of a brave move doing the windy Airley Rd option but it all went well. The ride there was fine and following her I could see the wind was troubling the little GN250 a little. It was a solid 70km per per ...
My best riding buddy & I get out & ride whenever we can. Together we have ridden many 1000's of kilometres and on quite a few occasions his wife Gill has pillioned . About 12 months ago she got her learners license and then got cold feet with the whole process. She is keen to ride but has struggled to get some mileage under her belt, and has not ridden since May 2009. So starting this week for this summer I am planning on going for a ride every week and sampling potatoe wedges at different ...
