CHCH to Akoroa (22nd, 23rd or 25th)

[Smokin]

For Canterbury:
Heavy rain in the Alps from tonight. Mostly dry further east, but some scattered rain at times tomorrow.

Looks like I'll have to take it easy through the passes then go like hell on your side to dry out

[Ghost_Bullet]

So if there is some of the ole wet stuff falling, how many people does it scare off? Do ya still go or, Do ya just wait for another day?

Q

[Fox Rider]

Im in rain or shine

[Transalper]

heh .

Can someone pm me directions to this Hospital ive never heard of...?

It doesn't dissapear at nights does it O_o?

Heres a map with an X where i guess youd be meeting wether on the road or in the Hospital carpark.

Rain...rain... all that means is there be less dust on the dirt roads i'll be on.
See you all for lunch in Akaroa if i make it before you're all gone.

At the risk of sounding like a noob, I won't be going if it's wet, (or there's been substantial rain). My excuse is: new bike, new tyres.

[Smokin]

So how is the weather over there? It's damn ugly here but if you guys are still going im happy to tag along

[TonyB]

Its warm as at the moment. 22° at 7am. Forecast just says 'some rain this morning. Norwest at times'

That will do me just fine, Thanks heaps TonyB.

[T.W.R]

The Norwester is blowing pretty hardout here, but its clear. If it keeps blowing like this there won't be any rain, looks rough up in the alps though

[diddle]

yeah same here blew like 40 thousand about 3.30am .sky rain radar shows rain north of ch-ch , nothing out to sea around peninsula

[TonyB]

No wind at all in Heathcote. I'm not going BTW, just your friendly weatherman.

[dangerous]

Bloody warm and dry as in town... should be a good day any mention of rain will just be blow over from the coast, brave lad Smoking.

South Canty lads, blew like a bastard on the drive up from Levels yesterday but was mild in town.

Turns out the weather was great! the ride there was good untill we were interupted by the 5-0 just before Akaroa, then on the way back the bolt that holds my clutch lever on decided it wanted to stay in Akaroa somewhere, so that was fun.

I had to leave early to get some stuff done at home but it was good to meet some of you, here's a pic of the turnout...
