Have a great day Richard. Big frost here in the Rapa - very chilly but going to be a lovely day

I thought it would freeze here in the Nui too but no such luck. Just cold and foggy.
Once the sun breaks through the fog here it should be an awesome day.
Anyone have any ideas on a destination?

well - who would have ever thought it would be so cold in the Rapa. Left home to a reasonable day. struck ice on the top of the Takas. Hands numb to the bone by the time i got to Haywards. Back over again with the rest of the team, ice and grit gone,

Very eerie ride round western lake in thick fog. The fire at the Ferry never felt so good. My fingers are still numb, and I heard the sun still shining in welly!!!

Great to get out for a ride and catch up with people ,nice to get over the Rapa
again but a bit damn chilly round the Western lake in the fog.Still sunny up the Coast though.

farrk - its still bitterly cold here. Nice to see some new and old faces.
Shit - what am i saying - think the old faces are even younger then mine

Nice to get out and about again and meet some new faces in the process.
Even though it was chilly I enjoyed it. And yes the sun may be shining here in Wainui but it is still cold here too, got the fire going already.

+1 Really good (if very cold) ride.

Sorry I didn't join you all for lunch - I got worried about my fuel level and decided to double back to martinborough (didn't realise that the cafe was only a couple of more corners away - doh!).

Luckily I bumped into the group again at the lookout.

Sure was a cold day and I was hoping that you were all keeping warm out there.

Took the car out of the garage this morning, loaded it up in the driveway. After 2 minutes of being on the road i couldn't see a thing and was driving blind... managed to find somewhere to pull over and discovered my whole windscreen had completely frozen over. Wow - never seen it frezze over a I drive, that was something new.

Pleased a group of you got out for a ride and made it home safely again. I was missing not being out there.

Soo... next weekend, isn't there racing at Manfield on Saturday? I so, I think I might take a full day and go up and watch.

Kate, me thinks you need to move somewhere where the sun does shine.
