Doesn't play well with others
Meh, bunch of pansies. I walked into several bike shops today - Motomail, Cyclespot etc and they all said I was the only rider they'd actually had that rode in all day.
Even the harbour bridge wasn't too bad - had a cops flashing his lights behind all the way over - surely he was just playing tail-end-charlie for me right?

Average trowel is average!
It's pretty wild here. The wind tore the tarpaulin from my carport roof and so off to the warewhare went I to get some more tie downs.
Comfortably Different
i just got back ...
Over the harbour bridge at 10:30 - slight woble every now and then but not too bad - and off to the city.
On my way out of the i-max carpark I felt the wind so SH16 was the prefered way to the shore
I only saw a guy on a bycycle and a gyo on a Black ZX14, who I could tell was also impressed to see me coz he gave me a big wave which I returned kindly
O and you guys showld totally go see the New Buttman movie...

Riding home yesterday afternoon, there was a magnificent ring around the sun. Today has been resonable, but in the last hour or so it has increased quite a bit. A mate from Paihia was going to head south for a visit... He called and said "I'm bloody well staying indoors!".

Well, you better look after the ol' girl mate, take it easy.
"I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."
Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

Wasn't that bad mid afternoon around 3pm out on the motorways. Btw, the geniuses that removed all the trees on the NW near the city just made it better for crazy wind, and it looks shit. Very little rain, just wind, which is actually quite nice.
It worsened around 5pm going back east, quite the ball being buffeted around, but the rain was pouring down, vehicles just about vanished in the spray and MUPPETS DRIVING WITHOUT THEIR LIGHTSCordura pants don't really work... that annoyed me most really.
Keep the speed up around 100 and it ain't bad really. Harbour bridge was apparently closed to bikes again. Oh, aquaplaned a bit... damn it slows you down

Wasn't that bad. Funny -- I got to work, went to park in my usual spot (many here have seen my bike on Parnell Rd), and the tree (some sort of sapling, 3-4 metres tall though) next to my spot was bent over past 45 degrees and touching the boot of the car on the other side of the parking spot. With some help, pulled it back up and tied it back to the stakes it was previously tied to. Still wasn't quite trusting enough, so parked on the other side of the tree

Nobody told me!. Went over Saturday afternoon, and back Saturday evening. far from the worst it's been. Lots of wind, but constant sort of wind, not very gusty. Constant wind is easy enough (So long as you keep the speed up !)Wasn't that bad mid afternoon around 3pm out on the motorways. .. Harbour bridge was apparently closed to bikes again. Oh, aquaplaned a bit... damn it slows you down
