A very useful program for GPS and map geeks. Lots of conversions and easy to create routes etc: http://www.routeconverter.de/download.html

I think a device to light, hold and supply cigarettes whilst riding would be a wise investment

Darryn ended up getting the Versys. Here it is: http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=225935006

Thanks for the kind thoughts guys,got home tonight,man not having internet for 8 days is like a junkie coming off smack.

As for the pics I was tricked,and only had had the 2 relaxing tablets,still had the iv lines and epidural one to be inserted,wasn't smiling too much then.

Weather was warm and fine inside,apparently outside was COLLLLD,nurses were good,even a couple were into bikes and gave one kb site to look at.

Really good Irish male nurse and this is how frigged the system is,he is leaving to goto Aussie tomorrow,he can't get enough hours/wages for his qualifications here,instead the government has Asian nurses who can barely understand engrish but are cheaper to hire.So here is a guy who teaches the said asians practical inhouse lessons,is so concerned about his patients epidural site that he goes home(1 hour later)after being sure a doctor has checked it out and given it the ok.

Barry can sympathise with you,I can't drive for 4 weeks(asked can I ride,nope)because of aneasthetic and other stuff.

And for all you smokers keep on,if a non smoker like me gets lung cancer,yet dad doesn't and has smoked for 50yrs doesn't have it makes you wonder,mind you he has limited lung capacity lol.

Good to see you had a great run via the Naki and hope you gave Paul heaps at Action,good bastard he is.

Glad to hear you're ok and out of hospital Tony!

The 4 weeks will pass in no time.

I have to ask Tony. Do you really think an Irish nurse is a good thing?

Good on you Tony, Heal quick mate

Shit yes in this case,bloody great guy who was really considerate in his care for patients,and explained everything.

Funny thing is both times I have had male nurses and they are as good as female ones at everything,well not bedbaths lol.The thing with the male nurse is it gives confidence if you think you'll fall they can grab you,small asian nurses don't give that assurance.

4weeks will fly,have only used the bike once in last 6 weeks lol,sorry for Barry 6 months almost like a disqualification.
