Labour weekend

It is Labour weekend, and the weather is nice. Not quite warm enough, but not bad. Otago lost the rugby last night, which made me sad. They were trailing 10-8 at half time, then it all went pear shaped and Auckland ran in a few trys. Otago has a problem that it has a great forward pack but mediocre outside backs. In the 1990s it had a great backline and loose fowards but a tiny tight five. You just can't win!

Anyway I plan to cycle on the Port Hills today - The plan is to ride up the Rapaki track and down the Bowenvale. I have finally got my mountainbike into tip top condition. I have the front wheel rebuilt, replaced the shifters, brakes, cables, jockey wheels and had the headset bearings replaced and regreased. So hopefully I will not get a flat tyre!

Now I just need to get a similar amount of work down to my car...
