Cheers for that Kari. Weather is going to be a bit iffy but looking on rain model there could be a bit of a clear patch around ride time. Will check it again this avo for updates

Expect northwest gales to continue to reach 70 km/h with gusts 130 km/h at times,especially about exposed hill tops, until about 10am this morning. However,these winds could continue until about midday Wednesday near the summit of the Rimutaka Road and in northern Wairarapa.

Thats from the metservice, so it should be clearing this evening and i didnt find it that bad riding in this morning

.......ok, who was it?........

Well half a dozen bikes turned up at the pond tonite. Loverly and sunny it was too. We decided to give the big hills a miss due to the wind factor and instead headed out to the Wainui coast.
Unfortunately one of the group found himself having and arguement with a bank...which sort of brought a halt to procedings while he was picked up and sorted out. He got a free ride to Hutt Hosp in an ambo. A few of us called to to see how he was, and happy to report he was sitting up chatting to us and basically ok. I will let him tell the story, if he wants to, when he gets out.

So happy healing, Chaz, hope nothing too sore for too long. Let us know how ya get on.
