    My bloody driveway was iced up this morning. And I'm 100m from the beach up the coast.

    Stepped out of the house, took one look at the driveway and decided on taking the car.

    You could loose your coaster badge for that. Need some HTFU pills. I didn't see any ice from Raumati until I got to the Ngauranga Gorge. It's always better up the coast

    Yeah ask him how many wheels he had at the time. He was prolly on his communist liberation mobile with the trainer wheel on one side.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    OK, I was about to make some smart arsed comment about pussy riders, But decided I'd own up to the fact that I took the 4WD to work yesterday and left the bike at home. -8C was even to cold for me.

    Took the bike today though, it was a nice balmy -2, and nice glistening ice.
    Time to ride

    That's where cagers are our friends. Their lovely tyres carving a clean line for us.

    I've lived in this particular Johnsonville street for only 4 years, but first time I've seen ice from one side to the other. I just clenched cheeks and rode through. Mr. Michelin saw me right.

    I used to be a mainlander (cantab). I've realised living in Wellington is making me soft, unfortunately.
