Bwahahahaha...! Our place - in order...? You haven't been here, have you?

We prefer diplomatic terms such as "Comfortable chaos", and "Delightful dilapidation".

The food is good though...

hey guys. i woke up today with an urge to ride my bike....not round the block sort of ride, like a lets see where i end up sort of ride. so knowing my bike had a full tank and the oil was topped up i took off on a little journey. iv lived in dunedin for 3 years now and never reali driven north of here so i decided id head in that general direction without touching the motorway.
i made my way to nrth east valley passing baldwin st i made my way to a fork in the road i took the right prong i believe is called north road still. the road was covered nicely awsome sweeping corners i flew thru with a smile on my face and a cautious finger on the break lol (im still new at this) i eventualli made my way to mt cargill road. bumpy but long and sweeping perfect conditions for my bike. 30-40 mins later i dont know i ended up at waitati and made my way to doctors point. i think i was only away for well over an hour but it was my first long venture with twists and turns and i thought u guys would appreciate how i felt more than my flatmates

it was awsome!

If you turn off up the top of north road you can make your way back down to Saywers bay and head back through to town along the road that way. Much shorter ride, but nice coming along that side of the harbour. Out the way you went is still nice though, and hardly ever anything to hold you up

Great news about the op - now it looks like you're going to get fattened up on the Dn home baking so you'll be too bloody heavy to try to ride one of those ridiculous postie bikes across the back blocks of Australia again!!

How long do you expect to be off your bike after this surgery?
