No gravel, no sheep, no cars, no surprises and plenty of advise on hand.

You'd need a pretty good reason NOT to be there really.

If the weather is going to be ok i'll be there but not to ride on the track. Just to spectate. I enjoy watching people ride 'round the track but it does'nt carry a great deal interest for me.

I hate crowds and $40 is about 550kms riding on the GB.

Arguably the Manawtu RRRS would be a much better place to gain expert advice since 99.99% of the riding most people do is on the road, not the track.

Metservice have just changed their forcast to sunny so it can't be that bad.

I asked your neighbor why you weren't on the ride last night.

Bit of a pity you (Meanie) and Monie did'nt make it last night is was a good outing nice roads, bit slippery on the road from Apiti to the main drag though..well I thought so anyway, had the arse step out on me between Dog's place and Apiti too. Been having a play around with suspension settings today and I think there's been some worthwhile improvements.
