    A lovely day for a ride (27 June)

    The temperature had been -8 overnight, but this afternoon it had risen to a nice balmy -4. A perfect excuse to take a ride and get a new pair of winter weight gloves.

    Fantastic pic Malcolm and not even at your limit for riding of minus 6. They breed you lot tough. (I'd like to think that your formative years in the Waikato might have contributed a teensy bit )

    Hope they were electric gloves, and you have heated grips. Or are your gloves frozen to the grips now.

    Thanks Geoff, Paulette was playing with the camera just as I was heading out, and I also thought she got a good pic. The hoar frost is really nice at the moment.

    It sure is nice looking Jantar - very fairyland looking and not bad fun riding as long as the roads are dry..

    Went to a car crash south of Clinton today, ice in the roadside puddles were 3" thick (76mm for metric types)

    No wonder the poor bugger skidded off the road in the ice.

    The roads up here are in good condition at the moment, generally dry with good grip. There was one icy patch in Letts Gulley wher I had to take it easy, otherwise just nice cruising.
