    windy as hell in wangas today as well. i got caught by a strong side wind, little bit of fun keeping in a straight line. the headwind after turning a corner was worse though!
    and then this afternoon, had to shut mums car door, thought it was gonna get blown off.

    ride safe, wellingtonians!

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    eek Talk about rough

    I just got back from Wellington on a very rough flight - it really threw us around just north of wellington, a few punters were a bit sick.
