Laxed out rides

[slofox]

DRY ROAD! WOOHOOOOOO...

For the first time in about a month I found some dry road and clear air...eventually anyway.

Grabbed the "no rain" window this morning and took off down 39 To Otorohanga. A bit of light fog this side of Pirongia - which turned to pea-soup as I got closer to the mountain...(just as an aside - who'd live in Pirongia? I mean it's lovely an' all, but it sure as hell rains and gets fogged in down there). Anyhoo, I debated cutting it short but deprivation got the upper hand and I carried on to Otorohanga. Which was also fogged in. Stopped for a coffee and a thaw out (was 2.3C when I left) at Troubador cafe - they make gooooood coffee!.

Decided I couldn't handle Oruwhero - Pokuru Rd in the fog so came back up SH3. Couple of clicks north of Oto I came over the hill and into a patch of clear air and dry, wide road - about ten km of it...at last! A chance to let The Vixen do her stuff...which, of course, she did with aplomb.

I'd have to say, these 'ere GSX-R thingummies do like the odd nudge, don't they? Not that I was a fool of course! All strictly almost legal - mostly...Y'know what they say, if nobody saw it, it didn't happen. Did it? No...it didn't. So there.

Sure as hell felt better than farting along on wet roads though.

Oh and Thursday might be fine too by the looks of the metservice charts...

Hi there, Probly a bit late for today, im guesing youve already left, but any other time while the weathers fine, im keen t get out for a ride if someone is lookin for someone else t join a ride, im keen. Im on holiday for the next two weeks and only working after 5 each night so ye, im pretty good for anything during any days.

Hey Daniel. I'm often off during the day too, and so is Warr. Might be up for a ride tomorrow or Friday if I get my AintoG and do this oil/filter change I keep not getting round to. Weather doesn't look too bad either. Could go Tag chasing perhaps? Oh wait, I think you have the last tag. Dang. Coffee run then?

[slofox]

Assuming it is A) dry and B) not fogged in, I will probably ride tomorrow morning and/or Friday morning - but it'll be early - like 8.00 - 8.30 am. If anybody is interested at that ungodly hour, let me know...

[bi-winning]
