Ride to work day

[Ixion]

Yes, it's that day again.

Ride to work day.

It's NOVEMBER the 7th. That's THIS WEDNESDAY. Yes, THIS Wednesday. The one in three day's time. No I don't know where the year has gone to either, but nonetheless, Ride to Work Day is this Wednesday.

So on Wednesday, get the bike out and ride to werk. Or school. Or Uni. Or just ride round in a circle. Or if y' work at home ride AWAY from work.

Anyway. just get the bike out and ride it.

But wait . THERE'S MORE.

While you're riding to werk (or wherever, I'm not going through that again), call in at your friendly local McDonalds. Buy a coffee or a brekkie or summit, and make a donation to Ronald McDoanld. They help sick children. Y' wanta help sick children don't y' ? I mean , even if y' don't you're not going to admit it here. And then , send your receipt into BRONZ and y' go in the draw to win a FREE HELMET.

That's free. As in a PRIZE. So y' get to be a caring, kind biker person, helping sick children, bringing happiness to little kiddies etc (I'm gonna work kittens in here somehow) AND y' get a free lid too. Better specify a larger size, to allow for head swelling.

But wait. THERE'S MORE.

If you go to the Greenlane, or Pt Chev, or Grey Lynn or Manukau Maccas to do the Ronald McDonald donation thing and help wipe the tears from those little cheeks, and still those quivering lips (are you ready for the kittens yet?), you can get a Ronnie Run badge. These are the same badges that were used on the original Ronnie Run as organised by Telemarchios (world famous in an obscure suburb). So if you've been collecting the Ronnie Run badges since 1735, and your life has been made bleak cheerless and purposeless becos you thought you couldn't get another one, do not despair. Help is as close as Maccas .

But wait. THERE'S MORE.

If you work in the CBD and are doing the ride to work thing, we can make YOU a TV STAR. We need half a dozen cute, hunky, sexy, intelligent, sensitive, brawny, buffed hunks to become TV stars. As we can't find them, we'll settle for you instead (chicks very welcome too) . You just have to ride up Hobson St at 7:40am. Whereupon Breakfast TV (and a real hot reporter chick) will film you. Instant stardom. Well, if not stardom, planetdom.Or space dust-dom. Anyway, y'get to go on TV. And maybe chat up the reporter chick. Post if you're interested.

So don't delay. There is no excuse. Just do it. Ride to Work. Or I'll bring on the kittens.

Chicks very welcome.

[Pumba]

I would be happy to help out, and have my few short fleeting moments of fame on TV if you still need more people.

PM Sent.

[Ixion]

Bump. Only one more sleep till RIDE TO WORK DAY.

And, the weather's going to be good too! So y' got NO excuse.

Ride to work. Claim the roads . And swing by Maccas and make a donation for the bairns.

Wednesday 7th. When bikers own the roads !

Where do you live Ixion, it's pissing down here.....I've had to fit water wings to the DR to get out of the carport. This is likely to become "the ride to work with optional breaststroke" day tomorrow.

[Ixion]

That is now. This is Auckland, so there will be four changes of weather before tomorrow.

The rain will clear this afternoon as the front moves over, giving way to sunny skies tomorrow.

Weather report for tomorrow

North Island, mainly fine, remaining showers in the north clearing. A few late showers along the east coast. South Island,early drizzle in the west, then fine. Mainly fine elsewhere, but showers in the far south, late showers in the east.

And I sacrificed a cyberkitten to the biker gods to be on the safe side.

(Of course, a real biker rides to work every day rain or shine )

I rode the gixxer to work yesterday, rode the gixxer to work today and will definitely ride the gixxer to work tomorrow, because that reporter chick sounds absolutely lovely on the phone.

[Trudes]

Not going to work on Wednesday, but have an exam in town, so will be riding to that, so I'll be doing my bit.

Best then, that, you get your bike all cleaned up and have it all polished and shiney........

Oh dear, what a shame your bike doesn't have a lot of chrome on it to make it all shiney......

Cos after just speaking to her on the ph, she will be checking out the bikes to see which one she will sit on the back of.

[Ixion]

Don't get too excited gents. I understand Big Dave is going to be rocking up on the Harley of all Harleys to pilot her.

I'm fairly sure it won't be mine then....mind you, the worst of the mud has dissolved lately revealing the fetching scratched and dented tank.

[Ixion]

..the worst of the mud has dissolved lately revealing the fetching scratched and dented tank.

Patina. It's called patina.

I wonder if kiwifruit would let me borrow the MV?

Hmmm.

Oh, that's right, he went and bought one without a pillion seat.

I told him, I said, buy one with a pillion seat, but did he listen? Noooooo, he did not listen. Goddammit. What is the point of an MV without a pillion seat?
