Anyone noticed that it's raining??

Bugger sitting in traffic in this weather, what better day to take your bike to work! And for the 2nd time in history I managed to get a park IN the bike park, instead of the footpath beside it. Seems Uncle B ain't the only pussy today.

As for the gear? Yes, well, my waterproof boots did a fine job of holding in the water, as did my waterproof gloves. Got some funny looks wandering around in a suit and bare feet while the aircon vents dried my socks.

And the ride? Oh that was fantastic. Impromtu lean angles and wheelspins - wind, rain and rooted rear tyre... Woke me up quicker than any coke can.

They're sweeping the Piecock side now. Should be a nice fresh covering of rocks by the time you go home Smarty Bills.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Uncle B again.
Bleh, smartarse!!

Though I have to admit that I am more than a little worried that the weather wont clear up before I leave....

Im stuck in a cage for a while now, playing paintball the other day resulted in a prompt trip to Welly Hospital, Ive managed to stuff my back and knee up, both of which are past injuries so will be a whilew before I can hop back on the bike, however days like today I dont really bother to much

Radio reports 1.5 hours travel time from Wellington city to petone.
Maybe it was a good idea to ride after all.

We'll still be home before most Aucklanders though.

Be careful out there!

Just received this update..........

The Horokiwi slip is apparently not going to be cleared for 24-48 hours. There is only one lane operating each way on SH2 and estimated times are 1 and a half hours to the Petone Lights and 1 hour coming back into town from the Hutt.

Apparently the Haywards hill is now blocked (because everyone is taking the detour).

There is severe surface flooding everywhere. Some roads are closed in and around Lyall Bay. The back road to J’ville is closed (Heading through the tunnel then right towards Crofton/Wadestown/Jville), the Ngaraunga gorge quite congested and Old Hutt road badly surface flooded (looking at closing it).

Enjoy.
