Who can skive off work in Wellington today?

**Eurygnomes** · 22nd July 2005, 11:14

Okay...so it's REALLY late notice (like F/F up there in them northern parts) but HELLO!!! Have you looked out your window??

AND it's Friday afternoon!

My place (on the front of the Dom Post today) has it's midwinter christmas lunch. After that, I'm planning on heading home and picking up Gem (had to bring the car today).

Then I was thinking of heading north up to the beach perhaps. I haven't yet been out on the motorway and wouldn't mind some moral support (read: other bikes around me).

Any takers? Only thing is - the social life starts at 5:30 - so I mustn't go out for TOO long!!!

(oh - and on a GN250, it's not gonna be crazy speeds).

Str8?? CSL?? Jim??

Maaaan!

That is sooooooo tempting, but I am far too busy at work today.

Next time!

**crashe** · 22nd July 2005, 11:47

enjoy your ride...... just go for it...
there shouldnt be too much traffic out on the Wellington motorways at this time of day...

Just been out on my bike to get something sorted on it. (Thanks Speedpro)

But will go out later today.... have to babysit for a few hours first.

Damn thats tempting but.... Work coming out my ears.. No hang on... Thats ear wax but I'm still busy busy!

Vicki and I will go for a quicky on saturday though!

I'm in Levin, don't fancy heading south on a Friday and getting stuck in the traffic heading north again later! You should ride to Foxton Beach and have a latte at Simply Balmy - I could meet you there!

**Sparky Bills** · 22nd July 2005, 11:53

Would love to.
Can you ring my boss and ask if its ok???

**poorbastard** · 22nd July 2005, 11:56

Buga Buga Buga should have read posts before taking on work this arvo

Oh well have fun anyway

**Eurygnomes** · 22nd July 2005, 11:57

Okay dudes and dudettes.

Here's the plan: I'm gonna head downstairs and have lunch. 12-2 (max).
Check computer see if anyone's decided, "bugger the work, I'm off"
Go home, grab Gem.
Leave Wellington by way of the Terrace/Motorway onramp (could meet people somewhere if suggested?) at approximately 2:30pm.
Head up to Paraparaumu Beach (motorway).
Then pretty much turn around and come back maybe go along Whitby way around the bay and then back to Wellinton on opposite motorway for some wiggly bits. (counter peak traffic - so not too scary or slow).

If ANYONE wants to tag along/join in: 021 715 740 to let me know to meet you wherever!

P.S. Sparky...what's his number? And am I allowed to mention mental instability clauses in employment protection agreements?

**skidz** · 22nd July 2005, 11:57

Hope you get out there and have a good ride. Must have brunch, then be off on my bike as well.

**Slingshot** · 22nd July 2005, 11:58

That sounds like a great idea....but like Jim...I too am way to busy.

Maybe next time.

**Eurygnomes** · 22nd July 2005, 12:04

Hmmm...giving it some thought - maybe instead of going all the way to beach - might just do a round trip around the bay at Whitby and then back into Wellignton on opposite motorway (SH2) so more experience in the wiggly bits of road too!

Damn it all. Of all the days to not call in sick....

at least I have to go sort something out at the prepress contractors.

Just how to get from Molesworth St to Wakefield St via the Rimutakas is proving difficult to justify today as well... so I guess buggering off to 'param ain't on the cards either.

Enjoy your ride. Paremata Road or Grays Road - they are both good - I would probably recommend Paremat Road - it's a touch slower...

Its luverly out there today.

I look out the window and the Canadian Embassy haven't even bothered to put up their flag today - or is it that there's so little wind its lying flat against the pole?
