Wow, I have been so very busy I haven't had time to watch the news so I have missed this (yes, we always get news about weather, fires etc happening in US, UK and Oz - but I bet you didn't know we had tornados in Taranaki last week that wrecked a few houses!)

So, anyway, I'm actually chiming in to say be safe... we're in the middle of winter here, so quite a way from the danger of summer fires... but they do scare me, and I hope the skies clear and the fires retreat and you are safe and can get out on your bikes again breathing easy...
