Welly Commute 11/12/06

[Drum]

We Welly commuters bitch and moan when its wet and windy.........how about we celebrate todays great commuting weather! No wind, no rain...great pace.

If you didn't take the long way home today you need to take a long hard look at yourself.

[Trudes]

Yep, days like today make me a little sad that I live so close to work that it's pointless getting the bike out of the garage.

Not like Fridays weather at all then, huh?
You guys in Welly have my respect for the conditions you ride in.
We are surely spoilt in HB

Wah! Poor Hornet languishing in the garage! You should take it to work and love it and fuel it up and talk to it and hug it and then go for a long, long ride and let Mr Kendog worry about din-dins!

Ride I say! Use those horses! Find those vistas and lanes untravelled and pootle about until they have been ridden!

G'wan - you know you want to!

[Trudes]

Gawd, I wish I could be as passionate about things as you are!! Can I have the name of the prescription?

Took possession of my new bike on Saturday morning and today was my first commute to the city on it. Saw the weather forecast and so hauled my butt out of bed early and started work at 0700. This allowed me to finish at 3.30pm! Mentioned my early finish to Hawkeye and he managed to skive off as well. We started off by going over Brooklyn hill and round the bays and Miramar peninsula, then up the motorway to Haywards and then round the inlet and down the motorway to home (northern suburbs). You were right Mrs KD - it was an awesome day for a commute!!!!!

Yes, yes, it was a beautiful ride in and out of work today. A pleasure.

Of course, gotta watch those cagers on days like today gawking at the view!

So nice not to have the wind, though....hope it keeps this up!

It was a filthy day today! First I rode to work in and out of traffic without any mishaps. Then at lunch I had an errand to run downtown (on the bike) and to cap it off I drew the short straw and had to come straight home after work to look after my daughter. It was such a pity that straight home took me up the motorway to Haywards and then every back road including Ohariu valley to Makara home (I live in Karori). It was a filthy day coz there were those of you who didn't ride today and will be absolutely filthy that I did!

I rode today. Had a visitor from Hawkes Bay so couldn't mess about getting home. Used the time to pull the arse end of the bike to bits and start fitting the pack rack.

Mein Gott Colapop! Zat is rubbing it in! How dare you ride like you enjoyed it and meant it! Giving an entirely wrong impression of black leathered up men - I can feel the disdain and arrogance ooze off you, as you worked your gears and manhandled your ride around some joyous twisties!

Why, some people might cotton on that these two wheeled contraptions actually be akin to freedom! Can't have that! No sirree bob! I noticed you didn't say safely in there - but with your rep, safely is a relative word

I had a nice quiet ride out (twice) today, stopped the bike to help a riding buddy and swapped my ride for his when it conked out and he went to get some parts to fix it. It was good down time to sort out the feelings and thoughts from the rush of events last week...so I know how carthatic you feel!

Just remember. I have my eye on you laddie boyo!

[Lissa]

It was a beauti day in the rapa tonight too... took Elvira for a hoon. Went out to the gladstone hill climb and then back again, then out to the gladstone hill climb then back again!! hehe practice makes purrrrrrfect. Then I went around and around the roundabouts... got some laughs from people in cages... felt like a laugh.

[Kendog]

let Mr Kendog worry about din-dins!

It's a done deal.

Bring on more days like this I say, its almost summer like.

[Sparky Bills]

Weather was perfect!
What more can i say?

Even came home and went for a massive ride on the mountain bike it was so good!

[James Deuce]

The number of cars, vans, and trucks that move over is phenomenal now. The bike boom certainly has some benefits.

I was too knackered to take advantage of the weather tonight, but it looks like it will be like this for the rest of the week. I'm off to the 'rapa on Thursday night if anyone wants to join me for a jaunt.

Shhh! Not too loud! The weather gods might be listening and looking at the Gods of Riding and giving them the I pulled out my Motorcycling Map and I noticed a heck of lot of squiggles in your neck of the woods ... will need to spend some time riding them soon myself!

And I can't wait to eat dinner on the side of a hill somewhere with the sun basking off the side of my little ol'Hornet, sipping a nice liquid refreshment as I partake in the charms of what Welly can offer!

Absolutely, Positively!
