Just keep an eye on the weather, does not look that great for Saturday on the news tonight, but it's three days away so maybe that H will nudge the crap out to the east quicker than forecasted.
Saturday stills good on the metservice website...http://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/hamilton

The news is generally shit for weather forecasts. They are more concerned about telling you about the weather you already experienced.

Check out this website, one of the better ones for rain forecasting.

What Ruahine said, I use Metvuw: http://www.metvuw.com/forecast/forec...zni&noofdays=3

Either it's gotta slow down a bit, or you may as well bring your water wings for the arvo

Good website indeed..1200 hrs looks sweet as and we'll be back home by the time the big wet sets in...beer time baby!

The online weather website supplied by Ruahine/Gremlin will be worth a look on Friday night/Saturday.

So does that mean you are coming up with the chocolate key to the Kingdom?

No mights about it lovely man, I just bought the meat. All we need to go with it, is some yummy bread, some nice wine, and a few friends to help us eat it

Oooh me me me! Though if the weather is a bit too crappy I might have to pass - I am getting sick of always riding though silly weather, but fingers crossed!

Don't worry, we have a great hot water cupboard

We should be fine. We better be, my gear leaks like a sieve

Mmmm I have really put mine to the test in recent weeks, and have found out that it is actually remarkably waterproof. I just think I don't need to have to keep finding this out every day...!

Though it does make the cuppa at the ende of the day that much better! And it'll be the first proper non-commuting ride on my shiny new baby

**MadDuck** · 23rd May 2013, 22:15

I have been to Nikau a few times it is a great ride. See you at Karaka.

**Grashopper** · 24th May 2013, 09:01

Argh, that sounds like fun. But I've got friends coming over to stay on Saturday

Ok, shouldn't pull a sad face, haven't seen them in ages, but still.

And had a tooth surgery on Tuesday. Not sure yet if my jaw would be happy with a helmet on for several hours, anyway. But one of these days hopefully I'll manage to go for a ride with you guys again.
