I'll check the forecasts in the morning and decide then. 140 km/hr gusts could be pretty dangerous but it won't be like that all the way. I'm 50/50 right now.

Otherwise I assume 8.30 at Ashhurst Mobil at this stage?

Conference was a hoot!

laffing so ya didn't

then .. glad ya enjoyed it ...

now re morrow .. hmm wot time ya gonna decide cause I will need to be up by 6ish, to make ashhurst bout 8.30 then if the wind is strong I will not be going any kinda speeds ..

yup - will check weather in the morning and touch base on here, if its a goer then 8:30 at ashhurst sounds like a plan

now, where's that bonez character? we might be able to pick up NZsarge in dannevegas too....and dogs will surely be in now he's off the boat....

Palmy has had 57mm of rain
Wanganui 79mm
New Plymouth 61mm
Taupo 38mm
Dannevirke 22mm

the plan was to head up to Havelock and back so we could always meet up somewhere....yod's motto: the more kms the better

I pretty sure I am out. feeling too poor to ride this weekend and there is a whopping great hurricane sitting right off shore. 100+km/hr winds are not alot of fun. Look forward to another weekend.

Here's the area forecasts for Sanson, Dannevagas and Mahia to 2.00 pm respectively. I've chucked in the Palmerston forecast as well.

Not good this side, but surprisingly pleasant out east. It'll be wet here later this arvo and Wellie will get a hiding, but that's normal

We should only get strong wind on departure and return and even then, not overly strong.
