    Smile Prep for wet & windy Westpac ride...

    So far I have....

    ... filled my petrol tank
    ... checked my tyre pressure
    ... fitted my clear visor
    ... put my gloves in the hot water cupboard to dry overnight
    ... put $10 cash in my pocket for a badge
    ... set my alarm clock

    Am I missing anything?
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    That looks about right,

    I organised all my gear and even hidden a few chocoloate bars in the pockets for a bit of comfort food. Should hopefully be a good ride and preferbly an uneventful one.

    Oh, and even though i'm athiest I prayed to any higher power listening for atleast dry roads. See yah tommorow

    Couple of lunch-size plastic bags to go over the gloves if it pisses down?
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    bring an enema for some poor sod that annoys you.
