    Wellington - Stay Home

    Nasty stuff.

    I'm not one to normally complain about the wind, but I've been to work and come home again this morning and it's the worst riding conditions in Wellington in 20 years of riding around here.

    Seriously consider staying at home if you're on a bike or thinking of taking a van somewhere.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I concur!! Drove home from town about half an hour ago, bloody hell! Bugger being on a bike today! There were 3 vans stopped on the side of the motorway, shit blowing all over the road, jets of water flying up into the air from the sea and the truck we were following for a bit was definitely struggling!! I gotta drive out to the Hutt for an exam soon..... I hope I make it!!!

    It's a nasty swirling high speed Northerly. Heading South, it's no trouble. Heading North is challenging.

    I concur too. I had to go over Haywards to Naenae to the Hutt and back again and I have never felt anything like it - ever.

    The biggest bang was totally unexpected about 500m short of Haywardfs going East on SH2 motorway. It's the first time i've ever thought I might loose it in the wind.

    Stay home.

    Been out in the van with the tandem trailer. Didn't have to much of an issue due to the extra weight - but I know of one fool who's gone to Paraparaumu on his bike...
