Nah not at all. If I can overcome the inertia of getting all togged up, I quite enjoy it. Once upon a time I had only a bike for transport so got used to all weather riding.
Went out this morning - not very rough really under the wet gear. Bit windy coming back from Cambridge but no where near as bad as when I went to d'Auckland earlier this year. Few bits of tree down around the countryside though...
Took some video of this morning's ride. If I can edit out something viewable I'll post it - although a first look suggests it's pretty crap footage...worthy only of the cutting room floor...
SO! Where's our new tag then?

unlikely to meet the deadline as the girls bike got knocked over on friday night and now needs a new brake lever. can't get that untill monday (might her her side stand shortend too)
Does it even really matter if its a double up???? It IS over a year old after all.

We seem to have stalled.
I cannot find that tag using goggle, so if somebody could pm me the location I will take it upon myself to get this game going again...
Which Tag are you Googling Mike? I found Whatawhata Quarry on Google real easy, plugged the address in to Google Maps and up she popped. Likewise with CTC ( http://www.ctcaviation.com/0204.html )
I would have had that tag and the NZ wide one by lunchtime today had my bike not started to overheat this morning on the way there.
I caught it early when I heard the fan come on a few k's from home (Going slow thru roadworks). Nursed it back to the shop who did a water pump gasket YESTERDAY. Seems they snapped the water pump shaft. None in the country, 10 days ETA, - I leave NZ for another year in Bahrain in SEVEN days, was on the way to relocate my bike to Auckland for a bike swap with a US Guy, AND my farkin car is waiting for me in AK!
All together now "Awwwwwwwww Poor Shafty"
All I can say is
FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
(Sorry, feels a bit better)

OK guys n gals - just what is the status of things at the moment. Does dynamite still have the chance to set a new tag or has it reverted to the whatawhata quarry?
We need a decision to get this thing on the road again. Me, I reckon if dynamite wants to, he can set something other than the CTC sign but I suppose we need a time limit of some sort. So, dynamite, you still wanna set something new? Others? Wotcha reckon?.

Personally I don't care if it has been tagged before. As long as it is a new photo, who cares?
OK then. The CTC sign is current tag.
Someone go get it and post us up a new one.
Besides, I think the current photo is of the other side of the sign anyway...
