Heh heh, does look a bit weak aye but it's like there are dozens of friday night ride coming up so may as well pick the good weather, y'know it's a weekly social event, bit like a soap opera, you might miss this week but you'll soon catch up the following week...

[slydesigns]

and I've done my fair share of wet MX races, road riding in the rain just doesn't excite me and I'm not sure why it should...

Oh, its raining over NZP/LINTON/Massey way again...

I'll show up for the meet but may blouse on the ride depending on direction and rain

[86GSXR]

Ahh, bloody showers coming through now. At least it's warm. We'll see how it is later on. Yep, like rides through the hourglass........

If ya not coming cause a bit of water you havent got the point of the ride.

Woo hoo the suns out

Well it was

Won't make the ride tonight, venison steaks and wine calling

Made up for it this arvo when at first it was pouring down (Palmie to Bulls) and then after a mocha with one of the Harley Fatpack the sun did shine and the 3V's did beckon

Had my first tank slapper ( I hope my last) on the turn onto Turakina Valley Road, too fast and not respecting white lines and water enough. Tightened my gluteals, kept the power on as I have been advised and did a little praying
All good
Turakina Valley, Fordell Valley and Vinegar hill 90 minutes of heaven and dry roads. Very few slips or nasty surprises. Highly recommend for a good group of twisties with minimal gravel. Only met a little shower as I got to Palmie

Hope all who ride tonight have a fun time

[sarahtvet]

Oh yeah, happy birthday to me and here I sit in my bed with a bloddy gut ache...That extra year has fucked me I do beleive lol

Sorry to have missed the party sure it would have been a wild one. Hippo Bday Mr Taylor
