Daylight Saving Tuesday night rides until 31 March 2010

toaster on his 'busa may have been moving too fast to register the bikes speed on the radar board

Nah - never.

Fella on the Nullabor, sees a guy on the side of the road, long trousers, singlet and braces. He is fixing his punctured back tyre on his bicycle. Fella in the FJ Holden pulls up and gives him a hand.

Fella gets back in his car after helping the guy and drives off, shortly afterwards he looks in his rear-view mirror and sees this bicycle guy flat out gaining on him and then siiiiinnnnnnggg passes the Holden.

Fella accelerates and passes the bicycle.

Bicycle passes the Holden.

Holden passes the bike and slows down. The bicycle puts on the brakes, pulls up to the Holden driver's door.

Driver says 'you passed me and i was doing 80kph, I passed you at 110kph, then you passed me at least doing 125kph.'

Toaster (out of breath) says 'Thanks mate for stopping, my bloody braces were caught in your door handle.'

Enjoy, and I will see you all Tuesday for the ride over to Kapiti.

Weather forecast: rain for tomorrow, is not looking good.

I know, my smile turned into a giant frown when I saw the forcast! If it's raining in the morning I'm going to have to miss the ride. To make it in time for the rides, I have to take my bike into work and go straight from there. So a wet morning means no bike in town for the evening.

I was very much looking forward to tomorrows ride. Its always the highlight of the week. Crossing my toes for a better outcome with the weather tomorrow!!

You need to learn to ride in the rain Katie. A good set of waterproofs and off ya go. You never know when you will be caught out and not have a choice. I ride to Welly every day, no matter rain, wind or both. If the sun is shining it's a bonus.

Yes I know. Good practice riding in the rain. But I have been caught out many times in the rain, on my road, on the Rimutakas, on the forgotton highway. It's not so much that I'm worried about the risks of riding in the rain (I take is much much slower round corners etc). It's more a fact that my "waterproof" riding gear seems to not even be water resistant, nor is my back pack, and it's always a pretty crappy day at work soaked to the bone. Plus I'm REALLY soft when it comes to getting my bike wet. I'm going to be selling it soon, and have to completely clean it each time it gets wet. Being made of cheap materials, any moisture on it and the chrome marks, starts to rust etc. They don't hold their value very well, let alone when they look a bit shabby.

I know I know - HARDEN up girl! Working on that. Oh... get a bit unconfindent in the rain as my tyres slip quite happily on the slightest angle (especially on my road). I'll get there. Just broke from buying the bike new so still a bit "overprotecitce". Hopefully I'll get over that soon and be a real biker that rides rain or shine.

Still, it's the only way to get experience, being out in it all! Man I'm such a girl (sorry ladies, no offence intented - you know what I mean).

will probably swing past the duck pond on my way to the bronze meeting
