Manawatu weekend rides

Will see how I go in the morning. Splashing out on 2 warrants & a rego...

Here it is Sarge, a tidy piece of kit although I'll need to get a back protector separately for peace of mind.

If you're gonna get a back protector you might as well get a fair dinkum one, Quasi is the agent for Knox back protector's.

meanies addicted to work so cant leave till 11am.

So I am thinking a slight change of plan. Leave from JS kitchens (156 fairs rd) at 11 am and heading south to motomart then heading out to titihi bay for arvo snack before heading home.

I doubt the weather is going to be that bad! Who is keen now.

Yeah still interested, that departure time certainly take the pressure of a little but I don't like chances of getting your bikes suspension looked at leaving it that late, I reckon it'll be a pretty popular day. Then again I guess you never know aye...

yeah. I think the likelyhood of getting bike checked over is sliming. But do get to ride piecock and haywards so still worth a day out. Ruthie and Gareth are keen to check out the bikes and have a chinwag. Just checking the weather and it says showers in morning and clearing in arvo so leaving at 11 it is highly likely we will miss the lot.

Oh bugger. I just raced in from Ocowtree to town, got changed and now read this. What am I going to do for 4 1/2 hrs? Hmmm, maybe a latte

[cowboyz]

only one though! You havent got time for 2! what weather like out there?

[Meanie]

Not looking the flashest out there but then it can only get better, Monie and i are going anyway, thats why we spent the money on gear
Jug will be hot here if anyone decides to call in a bit earlier

Sweet! If I go I'll be interested to see how the jacket goes.

just got a call from ruthie.

light winds and showers in wellington at the moment with clear breaks overhead. looks like it will be fine by this arvo

[NZsarge]

Do I? Don't I? Grrr!
Will re-assess at 10am, was looking ok earlier but there is some shitty looking stuff rolling this way, will make a call on it for myself then.

just to let you know currently very heavy rain here, with the odd burst of torrential rain, just got back from horses & currently quite a bit of surface water on the roads and still looking very dark

Cheers for the heads-up Sandra! Pretty crappy here too, but I notice the wind has gone.

[NZsarge]

Hmm, sun is out here but I can even see enough from the valley to see it's pretty evil toward the ranges, was expecting to see some rain if I rode today but if it's gonna be shit like that then I might let it slide I think.

Raining here Sarge and gusty but I am closer to the ranges

He he.. Near enough, you going?
I'll sit it out and see what tomorrow brings, gonna post for coffee in rant'n'rave.

Would like to have ridden today but in all honesty it just sounds pretty shit out there, as usual i'll probably be wrong and there'll be a couple of spits and the odd puff of wind so...
