South Island KB Rally

[T.W.R]

LISTEN UP CHCH

Ok so depending on what we wake up to tomorow weather wise, if the east coast is wet whos keen to ride inland in the hope that we will miss some of the rain?

Will decide with those that meet up at the Rolly BP at 9:30

It's a south-westerly front so it'll suck it's way around the hills, so either way it wont be avoided

Cal and I arrived Dunedin at 6 with no probs whatever. No wet at all anywhere yeehar.

Glad you got there in one piece. Good to see you today too

jesus... you can call me dangerous

well it beter blow out to sea or I might just pike

jesus Tui ad time
Nancy are you scared of the wet stuff

[Ruralman]

[scumdog]

Just finished work & having a red.

No rain here -YET!
But we'll have to wait until morning eh?
Silage, you going to rv with me at Clarksville?

Is so what time???

[Ruralman]

Cal and I arrived Dunedin at 6 with no probs whatever. No wet at all anywhere yeehar. No issues on the road except for the car that moved across the middle line toward Cal in the middle of a bridge Then there was the light green falcon ute (had trailed us for 20km and thought it might have been a mufti, but no) that cruised up the steeper parts of the motorway at 160. No how would we know that

Most likely we will catch up with Scummdog and Ruralman at Lawrence tomorrow - was it 10am?

Yes 10am
There's a couple of interesting alternative routes on the way up to Roxburgh - probably do the one where you turn off at Millers flat over the Clutha river and then ride up the other side to Roxburgh - you can go right up to the Rox. Dam and go over it but you'll miss the best cherry orchards that way - we gotta pick up some artilliary.
The other one is to turn off at Raes Junction and do the route via Moa Flat and back down to Ettrick - great road on a nice day but it gets pretty high and exposed on a shitty day. Unfortunately you can't do this one and then the next one without a bit of back tracking so its probably one or the other - the river ride is also a bit more Harley Friendly if you know what I mean.

I'll go with the river ride - Moa Flat ride might make a bit of a mission of things especially if the weather is 'iffy'.

Was thinking that it is probably easiest just to meet up at Lawrence. Saves one or other having to wait twice or whatever. Will txt you when we split from Dunedin (St Leonards). May catch you en route anyhow.

Was raining fairly heavily in Cromwell from about 1700 last night. Hasn't rained much since about 2000 though. Looks like its nearly stopped up the headwaters of Lake Wakatip and Wanaka too. Shouldn't be too bad, might get a couple of showers on teh way through. Better get those mittens out d.

[miSTa]

Todays the day

See all you turkeys later

[T.W.R]

Looking blacker than a Abo's butt-crack towards ChCh, patchy cloud & sun here and about the same looking south should only get better as the morning progresses

[Silage]

Possibly the wind just changed, cos Cal and I are going to take the soft option - straight up the coast from Dunedin, lunch and latte in Oamaru then up the valley to Camp KB.

The dopler rain radar thingy shows a bit of the wet stuff about Chch at 7am but clear South of Ashvegas. So hopefully you lot from North won't get too damp. Looks like it will be short lived.

Good riding and take it easy on wet roads. Cya there.

*peers out window from bed, thinks 'fuck that' and roles back over and continues counting sheep*

A wee bit of water and you might PIKE??? - and you call yourself DANGEROUS???

No unfortunatly others called me 'dangerous' years ago... god knows why

I'm not worried about getting wet... its the bike, what a mission cleaning TWO air cooled semi nakid bikes after a spin in the rain...
