Metvuw forecast is looking OK, maybe a shower or 2 Sat evening but fine otherwise, Metservice OTOH say both Sat & Sun will be arse, here's hoping Metvuw are right!

Fuel sorted at Pongaroa for between 2 and 3 pm. Might want to bring cash please. Could eftpos at shop, but folding stuff may be a safer bet.

The shit weather is supposed to stay closer to the ranges, as it's coming more from the west, so I'm picking we'll be OK. Just wrap up warm.

Can get windy out there in a westerly.

Hope to catch up with some of you at the Coro ride.

Big thanks to Tony, Johnny & the rest of the HB crew for laying on a great days riding & a great BBQ. It was good to put faces to a few more KB names also.
