    Well if the weather men have any hope of predicting the weather nearly a week in advance, then you shouldn't feel bad about it. It's supposed to be much like today- cold southerlies and icy rain...

    Of course, what would THEY know? It's gonna be

    Me too. No fun riding in this crap.

    And for you Nth Islanders who are thinking of taking the piss- this isn't just a bit of rain. It's about 6°C. Icy rain and hail. Gusting winds. It's SHIT. We were loading the kids in the car when this almighty gust came roaring down the valley- there was a sound not unlike tyres skidding on wet roads and then a huge BANG! MrsB, who could see what was happening provided a very useful comentary "Shit! Shit! Shit! Oh my god!" so I had a look. Twas not a car, but a 6m plus sheet of currugated iron had been ripped from a roof and was now wrapped around a lamp post not 50m away.... Lovely day here...

    Right. 'tis getting closer now. The weather forecast still doesn't look too good, but hopefully they are wrong...
    MrsB has decreed that I shall be home by 6pm to help with the kids. I shall obey this command on pain of death. So that means leaving pretty bloody early, like maybe 6am. In theory the trip should be easy enough to do in 10 hours, but group rides being the way they are it is bound to take longer. OAB, how long does this trip normally take you?

    You're fugging kidding me right Tony?? 6am? On my only day off? Jebus. ChCh to Nelson and back without Reefton etc would probably take just shy of 7hrs, depending on a few variables. Mate, this weather is looking very doubtful.

    Cool, hows about 8 then? Take it you have countermeasures then?

    Agree on the weather. Friday is looking betterer. Any chance of shifting the days?

    Yep, betterer. Or I could have said that it's looking Gooder- see example below.
    Looking at the maps it looks like one of those little fronts that bring breif rain and then bugger off. Quite often they are 'dry', so we might be OK. Agree about the weather tho- bring back winter! It was gooder than this!
