I know, the wind has blown the clouds away, but I doubt that will last long.

Hey, Wasps post says it all.

Personally, I'm felling optimistic about Sunday, cause I'm free to go for a decent ride, just gotta hope for the decent weather

It snowed in welly city, about 20 mins ago. Very briefly, but it was defienetely snow. (where I am anyway)
And now the sun is trying to come out again....

Sunday...decent ride...decent weather

Done and done, thank you!

just need to slip the new bracket on (that ive now had for a few weeks ), check the rear brake pads/caliper and disconnect if not working properly.

eidt: oh look its a bright beautiful sunny day again

edit: saturday: Early showers then fine. Northwesterlies developing. Sunday: Mostly fine. Northerly Breezes

what a disapointment!

I was looking forward to a real challenge this morning. But no, just a bit of a head wind which made it a bit hard to hear the radio on the way in.

Hey, lucky for you mate! I had a serious moment this morning with the wind while waiting at the lights, the type where you are going "this is going to hurt". I ride to work everyday no matter what the weather and this was the first time i thought i was going down for sure.

Still, lived to ride another crappy day.

Arrgh, yuk. I take it you didnt "go down" then?

EDIT- shit I just realised that you ride an 1100, that's gotta hurt if it landed on you! Also thats a pretty heavy bike to be blown around on, the winds insane!

Naa, I didn't go down. Yeah could be a bit messy..it certainly isn't a light bike, but that does help a bit in the wind though.
I was lucky as I couldn't see any of the cars drivers i had just passed wanting to get out to help me either.

Thats good to hear! When I got blown over on Vivian St the cars that were behind me just drove around me and some even tooted their horns at me as if they were pissed that I was in their way. I hadnt even passed or done anything that could have annoyed them either. Well I suppose that I was blocking their lane....

Cant come soon enough! I just want Nov to hurry so I can get my full and then buy a nice big heavier bike so I wont have to worry about the wind so much!
