Sunday was our monthly Adventure ride, only it wasn't...
Our ride was planned to take us over into the Wairarapa and towards the end of the week the weather forecast was looking fairly dodgy. On Saturday night it was looking even dodgier. So, at 5am on Sunday morning Neil fired off an email cancelling the ride - I think this is a first for a BRR ride.
But, Neil was already down here, staying the night at Colin's - and he had to get back home to Ohakune...the weather would be better up on the plateau eh?
Well, maybe not. Apparently he hit snow by the time he got to Ohingaiti and it tagged along with him all the way home. It did mean he got some great pictures though:

Yeah that's the first BRR ride to be cancelled. Party due to the weather but also because only Russell and I were confirmed. It didn't seem worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteWow, riding in that is hardcore. Magic pictures. It's been cold and crappy weather here too. Snow in the lower Blue Mountains with road closures.
ReplyDeleteShhhh, I sense someone's head growing....
DeleteShhh I can't get my helmet on...
DeleteAh, come on, what's a little snow... ;-)
ReplyDeleteChristmasie (sp) eh?

DeleteIck blah. I hate riding in that stuff unless it is off road with knobbies.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on Neil making it home without the Tiger napping.
Brrrrrrrr is right. Good call on the cancel (almost time to pull out the sleds aka snowmobiles!)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you can get a conversion kit for a V-Strom? I've seen a few dirt bikes over in your neck of the woods with them...
