Checked the forecasts and it looks fairly good. Should be dry pretty much all the way with showers not expected 'till later Saturday. Could be a bit windy in places.
If I can wriggle out of another engagement I will meet you @ Mana and ride up to Kapiti with you.
Otherwise, have a good ride

Hitcher , Mrs Hitcher & Mangell6 (happy now ?) sighted in they’re natural habitat ! :
(Lunching at the Fish, Martinborough) about 1:00 PM today,
so looks like ride completed without incident.
Looking forward to the report.

Cor I don't even get a mention and I was at the same table. Couldn't get out of the seat.

**matthewt** · 4th December 2004, 14:04

I'm knackered !!!

I've got friends arriving at 3:30pm for a visit and I can hardly keep my eyelids open.

mangell6 should have some photo's to upload tonight. I want to see them ALL #18 in particular (mangell6 and Hitcher taking a wizz on some poor unsuspecting tree, who would of thought I could operate a digital camera with my gloves on

)

It was a good ride, Honda's certainly got a bashing after problems with Steve's bike. Although minor issues the push start at every stop gave rise to a few more digs at such a reliable brand.

Good to meet you RR. It's nice to put a face (and a real name) to some of the characters here.

Yep is happy with the mention, also have had a nap and am more conversational and not reactionary

Ride report posted in the OTHER thread with more photos (courtesy of Mangell6's camera). The tree in photo #18 should be grateful -- more nitrogen in two minutes then it would otherwise see in a lifetime on the volcanic plateau...
