No it wasn't TS, I know, cause not only could I catch him, but I was able to pass him as well.

I guess if lived in Wellytown, it would be like a normal day

.

But its pretty shitty, wind gusting about 60knts,

I think its suppoesed to clear later ??

If you do go out where are you heading ??

I just got back from a short ride on the SW motorway. Conditions are not good. Riding across the Mangere bridge was unpleasant. Those wind gusts are fiendish. Anyone who has to cross the harbour bridge today - take special care.

I'm on holiday right now. Doesn't mean I don't have work to do

But give me a fine day and I'm on my bike...

Almost reminds one of being younger and sillier than I am now when the Brass Monkey meant it was gonna be cold so best pull on two pairs of jeans AND a black jersey.

You had better put on a good day for us Friday F/F or you will never hear the end of it mate.

Its drizzling here at the mo, wind meant to pick up later up to gale force.

Southerly, so we can't blame you Ork's for being full of hot air, although on second thoughts, hot air rises, thus creating a vacuum in Ork, which drags in the southerly down here !!!

Yeah, riding from East Tamaki to the Shore this morning at 05:00 (after night shift) was a bit of a challenge!

Ehhh. Been across the bridge three times today, and it was... umm.. interesting.
But I've experienced worse. I'm looking forward to the trip home.
