to right. Why work when you can ride. It's a condition in my current contract...

17.1 "If a 'perfect riding day' (refer to 17.35) occurs during the employees normal work hours, the employer shall grant the employee temporary leave from work to fulfil his required duties as a two-wheel junkie"

It's very flexible. It covers mountain biking as well. Clause 17.2 refers to boarding i.e wakeboarding and snowboarding.

When I had fewer hobbies year ago, I had the same clause written into my contract for windsurfing. Works a treat.

strong winds indeed...bike just about got away from me a couple of times riding to Foxton...just from the wind picking it up

sorry for the guys who waited for me at Kingsgate...left earlier with Quasi since I thought riding with a large group would be a bit much for me

Do we know how many riders are in Palmy?

I tell ya what, it would be pretty cool ride in a MASSIVE convoy that whole way. Kinda annoyed I couldn't do it. I've driven in a convoy of about 800 cars and that was something I'll never forget.

And to all you smart asses it wasn't rush hour traffic!

I wonder if they're playing the Convoy song while riding

Fine song/movie that is.
