If weather turns to to shit then I'll just turn up and make a donation and hang around a bit.

Time for a side car?

I'm considering it myself!

Seriously, I feel the same way. I'll take the bike out tomorrow and see how far I can go before I meet bad weather. Hopefully I'll make it to Palmy, but I'll skip the group ride if the road is wet.

Well my three hour stumble around base this afternoon netted just under $340 in donations. In addition it looks like 4-6 riders may also be taking part in the ride. So well done to the people at RNZAF Base Ohakea

I've counted and bagged the money so the bucket can be reused tomorrow if required. I'll see some of you early tomorrow at PTs.

Have a good, safe ride tomorrow people! I hope it all goes to plan and the weather is in your favour.
I won't be there, but I'm hoping to have my bike finished tomorrow as I have the last few parts to fit.

Be safe out there!
