Between 9am and 4pm?

Would only be guessing that we will be leaving Paparoa petrol station around 11am. Depends on fuel endurance of bikes in the group / how many stop for fuel in Wellsford.

How much notice do you need? I can ring you from Paparoa / Wellsford or even while we are on Paparoa road (have bluetooth intercom with my phone so can take calls while riding)

Condition of the SH1F (Road the the Cape), email back from Terry Buckley who is the Principal Engineer for the Cape Road project;

"Traveling north the first 3km is rough due to earthworks

The next 1km will be sealed, the next 1km will be unsealed but smooth and the remainder to the Cape is sealed"

Mate that sucks, left or right arm, and was it the bucket or the tripple? How much longer till it heals. I'd have come visit ya in hospital if I'd known! How long were you in for whilst they fitted the plate.

And on the subject of ACC you may be interested to know that whilst playing polocrosse I've had 3 falls (2 of which I was lucky to get up and walk away from) and currently have a nice cut over one eye and a close to broken nose (the nose wasn't game related - damn horse headbutted me in the stable).

And ACC cares that I ride a motorbike - oh the irony of it. Mind you we do pay additional acc levies in our accociation registration fees so its not totally ironic.

Jacinda is doing well, about 8 weeks left so she's feeling huge and not getting a lot of sleep at night. Other than that its going pretty well all things considered.

Ohh, that is low. Especially given that I have no way of defending this claim at the moment. Oh well, past evidence scince the purchase of a Bking proves that this situation would be reversed. In fact I think I saw Steve running away from the corner I came off on after throwing down some oil, yes, yes it is all coming back to me

Its ok it was the bucket, it is designed to crash, guess I am not. Will catch up and go into details sometime soon, its a bit of a story. So getting headbuted by a hourse in the stable, that is a bit like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer when working on the bike (enter Busa Pete)
