    The takas are nice today ...

    if you don't count the "road works" as you go past Kaitoke Gardens.

    A whole lot of cones on the Kaitoke's but not a lot of evidence of work going on.

    Anyway, no work still, and no interviews today so a quick ride was in order.

    Up over Wallaceville Hill to Whiteman's Valley, past Maymorn, out Plateau Road on to the Kaitokes and stopped at the top for a nice photo.

    [sigh] If only someone would pay me to do this every day ...

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    How was the wind? It's a bit blustery in town.

    Not really a worry. You don't notice it at all going up, but coming back over from the Wairarapa side once you go back down the hill its a bit strong on the first sharp left and for about 100 metres after that.

    In other words, no different than usual. Oh, and there's bugger all traffic at 11 in the morning too...

    Pity I have to go pick up Timothy from school or I'd go back up again.

    The wind is non-existent in Upper Hutt ATM so I'd say it'll still be good in a few hours.
