There's no chance on God's little green earth that we'll make there by that time... Andrew is far to disorganised for that. Might see you at Diamond Harbour round 8ish though

Very much doubt it'll be as rubbish as it was last week that's for sure. That sort of weather (thunder, lightning, hail) happens very infrequently here - maybe only once a year. Maybe you'll get a few spots of drizzle but nothing major and it won't be cold like last week was.

You'll do fine.

I'd come along and keep you company as well (can keep up with Phoenix - for now!

), but I'll be away from Christchurch for a few days. Next week though I'll be there with bells on

whoa

just got back.

me and mikkel went from the bog in town, out to halswell, taitap, gebs, up dyers pass, then along the summit road and down mt plesant something.

sat at mikkels and listened to music, had a beer and talked about electromagnetics, quantim mechanics, and how guitar pulls chicks.

we got plenty bug splattered

**Mikkel** · 30th October 2007, 23:05

Yeah, got my nice new gear all spray painted with bug guts... Yummy, won't have to go shopping for meat for tomorrows dinner.

Nice ride, although I must admit riding in the twillight is sorta freakish since you can't see what stuff might be on the road - pebbles, marbles, leaves, very small churches, oilspills, etc.

I count on being there tomorrow for a good trip around the greater Chch area. Let's just hope for good weather then.

P.s. Dave, we were talking about how guitars does NOT pull chicks. Do remember and do keep on rocking anyway!

Well, they're nocturnal and you can't really see them in the dark... That's what I was trying to get at.

Good on ya, I hope you'll get a nice one.

However Helen, it's actually not US who have to be gentle... It's a matter of him acquiring gentleman-like wristaction, finger and toe feel.

One approach could be to make sure he knows that he'll have to pay for all repairs he might require down the line...

Yes mom... Although since I slept until 30 mins ago I guess I've had enough sleep anyway

And no, I'm not gonna ride *straight* to work either...

**imdying** · 31st October 2007, 08:10

Nice ride last night, Godley House is always very welcoming. They're still saying the weather today will turn to shite around 'dinner time'. We will see.
