Gale force winds forecast tomorrow (Sat 28 Feb)

Anyone going riding tomorrow? Was taking the G/F on her bike up to Orewa today...or was supposed to be, for practice. The high winds stopped that. S'posed to be better tomorrow though.

Just wondering on the general consensus

see my thread in Meetings & Events dude..

Wind was fun in the morning then nothing....... What happened????

I didn't check the weather and so missed the warnings, and had work at 5am to 9:30am. Rode the 650 over the bridge at 5am, rode around the city on a CT110 for 4 hours, then rode the 650 back over the bridge at 9:30. The ride home was definitely worse in terms of wind.

However there was more traffic at 9:30 so the speed was a much more sedate 110km/h over the bridge.

Say what!!?? make me look like a pansy why don't ya?
however, in all fairness, your 650 is probably much more sturdy in the wind than my "piddley 250"

hope u made it ok, wasn't as bad as forecast in the end was it? some good advice here, centre lanes def. better, big trucks are OK shields if theyre on the right side. I find its good to stay on the gas when its real windy (grew up in Wairarapa commute over Rimutakas) so when a gust comes powering into it gives a little more control.
