Thursday 2nd July

Another week of shite weather so all the main tracks closed and the word was Bottle lake is also shite, so I called for a road ride. Helmut and Te Rex arrived at mine about 6.15. Helmut on his road tandem and Te Rex on his sandy machine. I was on the cruiza. We headed over to Phatboys and hooked up with him and the Mellonfarmer. We headed around the river, into town, past Vic Square, then down Worcester, around North Hagley, past the Sickest place in town, back around the river and down the single track some people call Cashel Mall. As J9 was sick I split from the rest and headed home. They all went to Pomeroys for a drink so that is up to them to tell the story. All in all just good to spin the pedals and get another 20km in. Looks piss poor for the weekend but hope for some sort of hill ride.
