    I've just checked both the metservice website and another weather website that shows satellite images. They both suggest that tomorrow will probably be cloudy but dry for us. Should be ideal.

    I'd have thought you'd have a greater concern introducing italian 'lectrics to the elements than a rider of fine german engineering....

    Why risk cricking your neck when the organised people have it going on?

    I sold my Convert last night and tested out my Mk2 today (after realising the WOF had expired and got a new one) on a decent ride, ran out of strength to squeeze the brake lever after an hour, so you guys have a good one and I will be up for it in a few weeks more I guess.
    More physio required. Shows what a difference there is in the two bikes. I rode the Convert to Puke and back sweetly and to work all week, the main difference is I de-linked the Mk2 brakes after putting 4 pot calipers on the front of it that stuffed up the splitter ratio. The Convert had such a grunty foot pedal I never used the front lever.

    OK. I'm on my way. Hour and a half to get 20 km. Should do it with luck. Not sure where we are meeting but I'll bumble around till I find someone. Look out for a pile of chrome plated scrap iron.
