Saturday Winter (not the WNR)

**schrodingers cat** · 3rd September 2010, 17:49

If its raining I might pop out to Ruapuna and watch the first round of the South Island Endurance Series. The rain (or even showers) doubles the amount of things to watch as folks react in the pits and the smaller cars with better drivers punch above their weight.

But if the weather is like it was this morning there's no contest!

Assuming the weather forecasters have got it right for once, I'll see you fellas and fellessas at the top of marshlands road.

They had better have got it right, planning for trail biking sun morning before the rain arrives, might even go for a quick spin on the scooter to complete the set.

I presume this is still on, not going to let a piffly 7.4 magnitude earthquake get in the way I hope...

Beautiful day.

Unfortunately I get to go to work and fix water and steam leaks... Inconsiderate bloody earthquake. Why couldn't it strike in Auckland? I mean their weekend is already fucked with motorway hell etc

Enjoy yourselves people. Think of me toiling

I'm glad you have a beautiful day...would be far worse should the snow be falling..damn it must be a bit chilly too, no power, no heat.
Have a safe day restoring essentials to to people of Chch, makes you a hero in a way!

Don't tell me you've all fallen into a big black hole?? I am itching to go for a ride so I will see if I can get into town, if not I will wait at Marshland Road for a while. Hope you are all safe. Was shaking pretty bad out here but no damage, checked the kids then ran out to check the bike, lol

Thankfully no major damage here! The bike stayed upright!

Hating the aftershocks though!

**robertvi** · 4th September 2010, 11:59

power only came back on here about 30 mins ago. no damage to the house (or bike). they say significant aftershocks could continue for about 2 days, including maybe up to magnitude 6.

Some of our group may wish to join up along the way. Top of Marshlands Road (12.20 ish) just before the motorway onramp and either Woodend ( 12.30 to 12.40ish catch us as we go through) or Amberley usual regroup point 12.45 to 1.00 ish.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! Only 3 weeks and 6 days to WNR

I'm going to go out to Amberley straight from home should be there shortly before 1pm if anyone else makes it that far I will hook up with you, otherwise will go for a pootle on my lonesome.
