    Daylight saving ended

    I LOOOOOVE the end of daylight saving, getting that extra hour in the morning. It's just a pity that every thing adjusts so quickly to being "back to normal" after the change over.
    So what did you all do with your extra hour on Sunday morning? I gave both my babies (GN and Bandit) a well deserved wash before heading out. Time well spent and accounted for

    I hate it when daylight savings ends! To me that means the end of my much loved summer...

    However, on Sunday, I got up bright and early and went to Rotorua, then to meet up with the Tauranga Lady Riders and went for a blast with them! Damn fine day we had too. I clocked up about 400k's on the bike.... the most in one day I've ever done! PUMPING!!!!

    If I had my way there would be no daylight savings. I prefer the extra time in the morning. Best part of the day. Early morning rides.........no traffic virtually no cops and the best weather.

    the whole dayligth savings thing sucks the fat .
    think about it
    2 weeks ago still light till 8 pm
    ok now basically dark by the time you get home from work
    so why not just not change it back at all
    only just got used to it , now have to start all over again .
    i so love to hate this fuck ass of a country

    Think of it another way if you had daylight saving it will be dark when you get to work , just daylight ,and daylight when you get home anyways .
    as well as the fact that it gets more daylight at night in the sumer ,and it still would do to with out it

    I'm glad daylight savings is over at last. I wish that it had not been extended. I love getting up with the sun.

    Yeah me too, but the body clock had trouble at the other end of the day when it gets dark earlier, takes me about a week normally to adjust, its kinda weird, but at around 9.30pm im ready to sleep because (i think anyway) that its been darker longer and it feels later....
