thats better. Should be a good last ride. I getting off the bike for a while after this friday so might as well make the most of it.

Probably not too many stones, they just all managed to hit me

Now, why are you getting off the bike? Are you driving to work, or something more sinister? (I am a very curious person).

getting sick of squaring off tyres commuting so yes, commuting in car now. Seem to have a very busy life in the next little while so will not have time for weekend riding. Will have to get out at some stage but will probably be reserved for longer rides.

Say Hi to meanie when your on buller gorge next week. He will probably be still running up and down it.

We will wave to Meanie as we all pass each other several times, can't wait!

Sounds like you had a good run and you found the old guy with the poorly tyre at the end of it

Mobile is I guess mobile and the choices around that way are numerous. Glad you are having so much fun
