1600hr start, uneventfull ride in exept for some f/witt sounding his horn at me 'cos he didnt think I was far enough in the gutter for his liking , gave him a freindly one finger wave !
Left work at mid night & decided to do a 50k loop home as I've been pretty slack lately When I get to the part of the sea front were theres no houses , just paddocks , the temp. realy plunges , frost forming on the ground ! Ive got a pair of full leather gloves on but my hands are starting to freeze & my fingers get very stiff & sore , nice night though , no wind, no cloud cover ,stars & just off full moon shining brightly . The surf crashing on to the beach .turn at the end of the road & head back ,my feet are the next victim of the cold . As I reach the built up area I can feel the temp rise As I aproach the bridge there are 2 chemical plants, because of the conditions the smoke from their tall stacks is droping down and drifting across the ground , the fumes nearly floor me & I feel like vomiting ,disgusting !! .Clean , green New Zealand , my arse !! Arrive home just after 0200 hrs still feeling a bit sick , 53 ks home , 63 all up ,Cup of tea & off to bed !!
