Will assess the situation tomorrow.

Looks like we are going to give it a miss now. Legend is still hacking her lungs out as well. As far as the weather goes, I think today we would miss most of it, but tomorrow and Sunday look pretty dire for riding. And the trip back on Monday looks pretty grim as well.

I have hope for the bulk of the weather bomb blowing through overnight - I still think they have over-predicted and most of it will effect only the northern East Coast (BOP, East Cape etc) weather might be good down Napier way for the Sunday ride. We are hanging tight til tomorrow afternoon (I'm starting to feel better than the last 2 days) and will hopefully go down on 2 wheels.

It seems every damn Queens Birthday the weather decides to play up on us, just look at last weekend and how great it was!

Im keeping an eye on Weather Watch and Metservice Rain Mapping

What can I say the idea of riding 4hrs in the rain - in the hope of a nice day down there today and expecting to ride home in the rain tomorrow didn't hold much appeal in the end.

Hope I was wrong and you guys are having a great time.

Fair weather rider, over and out

The Naki crew didn't go there to sit around,

even if it was a bit damp!
