Be careful out there guys.
Should make for an interesting ride home this afternoon.

And I have to get home from Kapiti to Whitby!

This might be the one day i don't go over Paekak Hill. I'm guessing maybe the TCWNR last fling might be postponed?

HonYamSuzSaki, the little known god of bikers, has smiled upon us and decided to make it a rather pleasant ride home tonight after all.

I for one shall be offering up a virgin in his honour.

Hooray! Sunny just in time for the evening shift on the boat! Oh I do enjoy a good windy but sunny day on the water. Just like a nice calm cool day on the bike.

Really wild here, and although I welcome the rain for the water tank, I wasn't so keen on the heavy downpour that happened just as I crossed the road about 1.45pm! The wind was blowing the rain into the shops I was walking in front of, then it started hailing and I was absolutely drenched. I squelched my way around the supermarket before heading home for a hot shower! A guy on a Suzuki pulled into the service station while I was filling the car and I thought "rather you than me, mate!"
