It will be great to see ya Gareth! I have soooo much to do this weekend, but nothing is appealing as heading out for a ride with you lot

And yes, my new baby is just lovely. A bit unforgiving whilst stationary though. Best I don't stay stopped for too long and get going again. Ah Saturday is going to be fun.

Next pro rider (Manfield?) will be in august. I'm looking at going myself considering its just up the road

It would be nice to generally keep the group together, but feel free to ride your own ride or tag along behind but we will stop for catch up points if needed to regroup if we get spread out.

So I take it the little ol 250 will be regulated to TEC duty by default then - Cheers Cam!

Pretty much means that it is raining from here to P.North on Saturday.

Also checked that with the metservice website and it says the same.

Try that one, hit the play button and it gives ya a 3 day forecast ! The darker the green the heavier the rain, till it goes to red (which you'd prolly pull over and hide in)
The little lines with tags on the end are wind direction (tag at rear) the more little tags the higher the wind speed !

But to cut a long story short the met service say shit weather all week end (but they have been known to be wrong

Here's one to confuse ya lol
http://metservice.com/national/maps-...a-ir-satellite

This one is actually pretty self explanitary, blue is clear sky, white is cold (or high) cloud, dark grey is warm (or low) cloud, (mix the white with the grey and ya get rain) the round white cloud you see over nz is in an cylonic weather pattern or low, means wind is clockwise , the blue patch below nz is an anticyclone or high ! when one meets the other the wind usually gets up there in the area they meet ! (top of one, the wind is going the same direction as the bottom of the other)

Confused ? haha Open ya curtain on sat morning and decide then !
