    What the hey?

    Damn. Four days in a row I have been able to ride on DRY roads with NO fog...

    What's happened to the weather? Must be global warming or summat...

    Very nice gentle pootle to Raglan this morning. Very moderate speeds over the hill meant a chance to enjoy the scenery. (Well, there was a Highway Patrol car in front of me, eh...)

    Never mind - nice ride anyway...specially coming home...

    I've been too sick to ride since Thursday morning.
    Apart from yesterday when I simply HAD to go to the chemist (Which damn near killed me, took so much energy to ride that 1km)

    I wanna riiiide!
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    We're in the shop tomorrow morning anyway - for 30k service and replacement of regulator or something as per recall notice of a couple of months ago...

    Beside, much more likely that it'll happen next week when I will have to use the bike for a couple of days while the stat. wagon gets fixed up...it's a bit bent, see (the wagon that is...see "oops" in R and R...)
