Tour de Ork

**Posh Tourer :P** · 26th December 2004, 21:46

Forecast is for kinda wet - lets hope it all passes over faster than expected.....

**StoneChucker** · 26th December 2004, 22:57

It is SUMMER, why is it bloody raining?????
To come on the ride, I'd have to cancel the 28/12 drinks, and ride up on the morning/early arvo of the 28th to have a nights rest before the ride. If I did that, and it rained, I'd be rather annoyed!

While I don't mind riding in rain, I don't have any wet weather gear, and riding on unfamiliar roads in the rain is never fun. Also, I'd need to stop at various KB'ers houses along the way, and tumble dry my jeans (eww, wet, cold jeans, not good!)

Lookin like it's gonna be shit tomorrow.......

The forecast is 'areas of low cloud and drizzle' for northern NI, and 'mostly fine' for southern NI.

Yer a bunch of big girl's blouses if you stay home because of THAT.

Anyways, I'm working today and tomorrow, so there'll be no southbound riding for *me*. I'll leave early and go for a couple of hours blatting around the north tomorrow though, I think.

You know me don't matter if it's wet i'll still be out, not fussy bout a wee bit of water, besides surely it couldn't get anywhere near as worse as that time when the first part of 25 from kopu was more like a river, fark!!!!!!

**Velox** · 28th December 2004, 21:38

Yeah - it's clouded over which could mean bad things. If it's a monsoon we may as well leave it but I'm pretending it's going ot be semi-ok so see you all then!

Blakamin - we were a little bit late leaving and ended up getting here after dark cause we went via Wanganui and the Paraparas. Beauty of a day for it though!
