After a day of housework and keeping the dogs happy I am well ready for a ride tomorrow. Might wear the thermals though. See anyone that is also keen at the Rimutex around 9.45am tomorrow.

Sounds good. Lets hope the wind isn't too bad. (But us heavy fellas don't get blown about too much

)

Bernadette and myself had planned to go for lunch at the Lake Ferry Hotel but with a severe wind warning in place for this afternoon we will give that a miss.
Next weekend is the Martinborough fair (Bernadette is helping out at a stall and I'll be hanging around) so looks like our next ride will have to be the weekend after.

Thoughts on the wind guys..?

**Quasi** · 29th April 2012, 08:32

its glorious here, not a cloud in the sky and n ot a drop of wind. Anyone know when the storm is going to arrive?
Pierre, if Bernedette has to start early next sat, you are both welcome to stay at my place Friday night.

Not sure exactly when the strong winds are expected to arrive , but it's already reasonably breezy here in Wainui and we are in what is usually quite a sheltered spot.
Metservice says this afternoon and evening for Wellington and Southern Wairarapa. Wind is a funny thing though and it may be OK for most or all of the day.
Last year we camped at Ocean Beach over Labour weekend. Left early because the winds were that strong the tent was being flattened. Got to Featherston which is only a hop, skip and a jump up the road and it was virtually wind still. Go figure.

Yep getting pretty windy in Upper Hutt already. But not too bad just yet. Unsure on this one - we all know how incredibly dangerous the Rimuktakas are with the gusts up there. Last weekend say a rider in front of me, 2 up, get blown right off the road into gravel and up a grass verge. Thankfully he knew just how to handle it but that wind was very unforgiving.

I might head out for a short ride anyhow. Will be at the gas station by 10. Unsure of where to go, but keen for a shorter one for the day

yeah - there a re definaite pockets that catch the wind, and normally featherston in one of them! Anyway - just a wee zephyr here, so looking good

Nice to see some names from the slowpaced tuesday rides arranging things for themselves now.
Spotted Carla on ANZAC Day...head of the pack and a huge grin! Lovely to see you again chik. I was behind BlackDog and his missus.

Far out....that Muldoons corner works site is worse than it was now. The wind caught me on the way home, just as well Henry and I are a considerable mass to shift. Wouldna been any fun at all for a light bike and an ordinary sized rider.

Anyone keen for this Sunday or Saturday coming?? Not sure of the weather this far out, but if it is not too bad (read dry) I may just take a spin somewhere...

Keen as always sunshine. I'm good for either day, so lets hope this rain settles and the sun shines down for a ride!
