    as SPmans avatar said quite a few times... ARSE! FECK!
    Yep. I didn't even have the heart for my usual filtering antics this morning. Just sat miserably in the traffic getting rained on all the way in. Got blown sideways a couple of times coming across the northwestern causeway.

    Found a couple of stick-on windscreen-mount sucker cups to use as impromptu glass-mounted coat hooks; my gear is now decorating one of the windows under an aircon outlet

    Looks like it might be a bit drier on the way home tonight, though.

    Roll on summer!

    YOU ARE A MADMAN The only good thing i can say about the rain (which can be a bad thing) is that it can be quite fun drifting the back out a bit round corners other than that rain is only a madman's playground

    Wellington's turn for shit weather today. Oh well I'll get on with working on the house. It was meant to be the Ulysses ride today and every month when it comes round in the last few I'm either busy or the weather is shit. They'll be thinking I've departed the planet.
    Cheers

    Shit weather in Welli - I decided against riding to the Wairarapa for the B.E.A.R.S drags and drove instead. Blustery arse wind all day long. Poor fella behind me on the Rimutuka Hill riding a red gixxer, big gust of wind and now he's in the other lane all wobbling about near the fence. He'll be wanting new undies...

    But yesterday wasn't all that bad. Got in a good ride down to Thames with only a bit of rain and lots of sunshine. The wind along the straight stretch to Kopu was a bit fierce but compared to the Rimutakas...
    Back to Auckland and grey skies and dark clouds. And of course Monday morning brings sunshine again. But the whole week is looking pretty patchy. Who cares as long as the weekend's O.K. But even if it isn't, I'm not too worried, because I've got TWO WEEKS HOLIDAY coming up.

    Went out on the bike once to get some snacky foods, then back to watch Two Towers extended on DVD

    I've just spent the whole weekend working - editing a video. Managed to get out for a ride yesterday afternoon about 2, just to clear out the cobwebs, but got slightly damp coming back. Today I didn't even consider it. At least I got my video finished, but it sure feels strange - a Sunday without riding!

    Mike L, If you bottle that cop repellant you have, I'll take a case. Does it repel anything else?

    If I knew the recipe I'd make a fortune. All I can think of is:
    * riding a bike that doesn't attract attention (i.e. not a sports bike)
    * luck

    Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for speed cameras...
