How was your ride in this morning?

I had an awesome ride in today.
The weather here in Wellington was spot on...
I managed to hit that sweet spot in traffic flows, the lull inbetween traffic wave at about 7.50 on the gorge...
Picked up a couple of riders so it was cool lane splitting in unison...
Got a decent park at the Grey St bike park...
Coffee from Arabica taste's beaut...
Life is good!
Anyone else have a better ride in than normal?

Nope - had a sh*t ride in today - ON THE BUS!!

Just waiting to get my slug back from fixing. Still it's a sunny day, the birds are singing, almost the weekend....

Yep it's always good when you get that gap in the Gorge traffic. I head out toward Petone so it's usually a sweet ride.

The only thing wrong this morning was that I hadn't put one of my ear plugs in properly, so things were a bit noisier than normal.

Absolutely gorgeous, raced around like a looney because I'm so highly strung atm

I didn't ride in. I walked. If I had of ridden, I wouldn't have made it to work, the long way round, via Kasikstan..

My ride to work is generally uneventful. Takes me only 12 minutes and I don't usually exceed 50kmph!

The ride home on the other hand can be quite exhilarating. If it's fine I will usually take the long way home which is an extra 40-80kms depending on which State Highway I choose to take.

I had a great ride too. Traffic did seem very light in Wellington this morning.

Went for a bit of a detour around the back of Wadestown.

Sweet.

My ride was pretty much like yours mate.

Nice to arrive at work with a grin on your face.

My morning may have been even a little better than yours: There was a Fidel's coffee sitting on my desk when I arrived.

I bought the XJR in today and was a menace. Was a bit of a zinger on a zoomer. Be thankfull I only bring it in once a week. Copped green on all the stoplights (11) though so no complaints about the ride in.

I went to work a little later this morn and hit traffic heading out to petone. bit annoying as I was trying to beat my flatmate (yota echo) who left 10mins before me. dry roads though. looking forward to tonight...if its dry.

I had a great ride in this morning, no feckin rain for once! Decided to rev the shit outta my bike this morning, oh boy do I love the sound!

No speeding for me though, its only a 5 min ride.
Now im finished for the day, so I can go for a ride all over again!

I had a great ride in...Mrs S is home sick today to it was on my own. I was happily splitting through traffic, noticed a police bike on the side of the road, but it was too late to merge back into the traffic so just carried on with the splitting, gave him a nod as I went past, he nodded back and I carried on my merry way.

Dropped the bike off at the shop to get the clutch sorted, so hopefully that'll be ready to pick up tonight.
