Thanks for your thoughts everyone.
Me and my family are all safe so we have been very lucky. I work in the CBD but had actually gone to my sisters in the inner suburbs for lunch (it was my...
OK - it appears that you don't actually have to buy a coffee at every stop - just go in and get your stamp.
A colleague pointed this out to me this morning

I think I will have to go for the play it safe 6 store option (which isnt acutally that...
It's the day after Christmas here but the traffic wasn't too bad.
We just had another one - my bathroom mirror came off the wall and smashed
If you are riding you don't feel a magnitude 4.9 earthquake epicentred 10km away - but on the way home you need to watch out for drivers who can't cope with the fact that the power has been knocked...
I came off my bike on the way home tonight.
Got my wheel caught in the tram tracks and just tipped over. I have a hole in my riding tights and a bit of a bruise but no real harm done. Except...
The bike is feeling much better to ride after some much needed maintenance (brake adjustments and pumping up the tyres). Much of central city Christchurch is starting to get back to normal - but I...

the mountain bike doesn't get used much and still has slicks on it from the last tour 5 months ago - need to put the knobblies on (and check the...
This is what I am having with the steak my partner is cooking as I write this

apologies - I started writing this and I got a bit carried away, Shooting Star's question has really got my passion for the great state of women's cycling both as a elite and mass participation sport...
Very belatedly, here are photos of Maidei at the "Girls on Bikes" ride in Methven, Canterbury, New Zealand in February. It was the inaugural ride and with 750 finishers the biggest women only ride in...
I've got a new iphone (only had it for 5 days) which I am still having a lot of fun in the playing with everything stage (helped by a $50 itunes voucher I got for Christmas and hadn't used, so I'm...
I used to mountain bike with our former mayor (when he was mayor) - at a council owned mountain bike park no less which was kind of cool. We haven't been riding with him for a few years now, not sure...
The Great Vic Bike Ride is finishing in Marysville this year. I'm a bit uncomfortable about it too - seems just a bit voyeuristic
Rode a flat inland 50 km instead of the hilly/coastal 80km I had planned. The coastal route was under Tsunami warning as a result of the Chile earthquake. In the event there was just a bit of a...
Name something you might do if you get a flat tire.
mutter f*** under my breath
Name something that you always carry with you on a ride.

She's going up to Auckland next - then I imagine she will be on her way further afield.
your photos are making me nostalgic for when I lived in Wellington and 'round the bays' was my regular weekend ride
Yesterday Maidei joined me at the "girls on bikes" race in Methven. I'll post a photo soon and send her on her way this week
This whole thing is getting a bit out of hand. I think the hill training might need to be put on hold for a couple of weeks (Dyers pass is on the main hill training route round here)...
I think Maidei needs a visit to the South Island (although the weather here is as bad as Wellington).
Maybe she could try and get here in time to do the subride

I agree. This is laugh out loud funny - so much so that I am cautious about listening to it in public. The report on the Copenhagen conference in the style of Dr Suess in the episode of the 18th...
