Current Wellington Weather

,It doesn't really affect me, as we commute in the car, but boy is it shitty weather at the moment or what?

I feel for you guys who ride to/from work. The high for today is forecast for 7 degrees. It's currently hailing, and last night we had sleet, which I'm sure was very very close to snow - the neighbours car was white. And this is supposed to last for another four days.

I'm wearing one of my Icebreaker thermal tops to work this week!

Sorry to grizzle on when you South Island guys have got it far worse than us.

I left home at 6am and it didn't seem to bad. A strong head wind but nothing from the side. Wasn't raining much either.

Just spoke to my wife and it looks to have got worse so I probably left at the right time.

It sure is a bit unpleasant out there. The bike was getting pushed about a bit by the wind on Petone Esplanade but not too wet. I think the extra pair of socks and heated handgrips did the trick. Mind you that car heater and radio would have been nice.

Pretty sure there were a few skidmarks after the last track day at Manfeild !

Yeah, well I just woke up and just for a change, its snowing again. Hmmm, that bike ride to uni should be fun.

**rodgerd** · 17th August 2004, 08:48

Woke up, listened to the forecast for snow, gale force winds, and hail, and decided this would be the second time this year I'd take a pass on riding.

Coming into work down the route from Hataitai to Marjoriebanks Street, I felt kind of justified with the slips of crap across the roads and the wind making the car buck at the intersections. That and the tick layer of ice on my street from the earlier hail.

Isn't it just glorious outside? There's a bit of solid stuff colliding with my office window (that looks south down The Terrace). Fantastic!

Followed some keen L-plate rider into town this morning. They were wearing street shoes. Brrr! Must like wet socks. Me? I was in the air-conditioned comfort of the Impreza listening to Radio Hauraki...

And it was playing Robert Palmer?
So what other sound bites are we going to get? "Excuse me while I kiss this guy"?

Seen this is a southern type thread where I know I can target southern types I thought I would Hyjack it with a question to some of you.

YA COMING TO THE FUCKEN RALLY OR WHAT ?

Thanks for that

Some of you are in, but not nearly enough Southerners coming, We need more of you.
Tokaanu is halfway to Auckland so its an even ride for all, I decided on this spot for this reason.
I am coming down on the 3rd September and riding with someone ??? on the Sunday 4th so I can ramp it up again then but in the meantime check your diaries and get organised to date there is about 30 people coming and still lots of interest.
Hope to get lots of Pms later !!!!
