Right overhead at the moment it's grey as but to the west it's blue with white fluffy clouds hanging around the ranges, difficult at this stage to tell which way the grey bit is headed coz there's no wind.

Edit: For those who don't know I live 15 minutes east of Dannevirke and live in a valley so take my weather reports for what they are.

Nice wee pootle down to Wellie tonight. Bit of rain at Brotaki so put on the wets. Stopped in to have a beer and sausage with the Cowboyz clan, finally got to meet Ruthie and Gareth

Blowing quite hard down here strangely enough

you should have come back. It got a little wild..... One thing you have to say about my sister is she throws fucking good parties! Turned out the bourbon bottle was too small or maybe it had a hole in the bottom of it cause it emptyed pretty damn quick. Good night and they were pleased to meet you briefly.

I REALLY didn't want to leave as it had that 'this is going to be a bloody good night' feel to it! Excellent crowd and good to be there

Just about to leave Wellie, first stop Levin to perve at some chicks

Rather

Had a really good ride up the line after the obligatory latte in Oriental Bay

Very blowy but that died out after Piecock. Got to said destination in time for a homebrewed coffee and then down to the ring for a spot of spectating, very nice. Got home in the dark and rain which was quite fun too (if ya warm, which I was)
