    CAUTION! Big ugly oil slick Ngauranga Gorge (28 Sept)

    Northbound all 3 lanes. Had a problem getting the truck up there at all. Very slippery.
    When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

    Beautiful
    Thanks for the heads up. Ive been back commuting on the bike for the last week & enjoying it even though it has been wet & a little slippery. It could be fun tonight.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    Update!

    It must be a goodie! My darling wife left my work @ 3.00pm & Ive just spoken to her & she has not made the interchange yet! Just about a stand still.
    Be careful people.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.

    Just heard the report on the news - Expect considerable delays - cops hope it to be cleared up and all lanes open by rush hour...

    I rode home about half an hour ago.
    No traffic, grit on the road but easily rideable.

    It took me one-and-a-half hours to drive home tonight (usually 6km). The gridlock was phenomenal. I could have walked it more quickly.

    Took me just over an hour (caged) from City to Akatarawa, usually 35 or so minutes. Wished I'd taken the Duc to work! Was watchin all the pretty bikes whizz past.
