I guess it's too late to postpone for next weekend?

Life is an adventure

Yes the weather may dampen our spirits, but it wont stop us doing what we like the best!!

Dudes...don't trust Metvue; they can't forecast tomorrow, let alone 5 daze out!! I know; I've spent my life makeing a living around/in/in spite of, the fucking weather, and no-one does well that far out. Not even Ken Ring with his moon thingies etc.( although, for a year in advance, he is close!)
Just BE PREPARED is the best forecast youall will get!
C U's saturday.

Couldn't agree more!!

But can I suggest we use the old boy scout motto and that is come prepared.

Wet weather gear, dry clothes etc
I always carry essential items with me that I have never needed to use, like an emergency sleeping bag (silver paper ones) etc
You never know when you might need one

If it is so cold and wet we all need to keep an eye on one another and look for symptoms of hypothermia etc (not that I expect it to get that bad, but you never now)

After all it is winter and we have to expect to have some cold rain now and again

Another very good weather site is Aussie Met service home page. Click on charts. Click on "colour Mean Sea Level Pressure" 7 day cycle. Or Indian ocean MSLP Analysis.
The Lows "are circling".Splish splash, I'll give it a bash.

Us "virgins" will be there to, first bike trip so if it is really wet and bad at least we know future rides will be better (or I will be doing them without my wife!). We have dug out all the cold weather gear to wear, just wish I had heated hand grips!!

We are both looking forward to the ride, meeting the rest of you, having a few quiet ones at Whanga(!) etc etc

Sweet. Get a couple of beers in before hand.

**windboy** · 25th June 2007, 21:34

DAMN!

Alright, alright!!! I guess piking is not an option anymore...

Last glance to the crystal ball ain't to horrible: fine friday, rain friday night until saturday night (buckets), fine sunday morning, rain back in the avo....

I can already taste the beer over the ABs vs wallabees game.... Bring it on!

Oh no....not a trip full of footy fanatics? No, wait...maybe they will have a band and a broken tv? Now that would be neat- a sport free weekend!!
Bring it on!

Don't worry Ducatijim, hardly ever watch rugby; I only care to watch the ABs beat Oz, SA and especially England...! At all times there must be a pint involved....
