Hey everyone!  It looks like you're having nice weather for freshers. I would really like to be there. Instead, I am focussing on indoor activities (indoor climbing, LAN party, drinking beer, ...) in good old cold Germany. It is around 5°C, too warm for snow, too cold for everything to dry. But no wind! - one thing I had to get used to ...

Hey guys,   before I go to Auckland next week to do a cycling tour with my friend, I thought it's a good idea to check my cycling fitness. (which is crap, I reckon) My idea is to catch the train to Masterton at Friday morning and cycle back, including the Rimutaka road. It's a nearly a 100km trip. The train leaves Wellington at 8.25, ...

That suits very well. I was sick last weekend so I'll be happy to come round this time instead!

yoyo - me and my family who are having a four week holiday in NZ this summer will be in the Golden Bay (Puponga / Farewell Spit) from 29 Dec to 5 Jan! At least one of my brother is very keen on tramping. So we're definitely up for some of that stuff. 

Update! We are indeed going to do this and with Jeremy we have wheels. So, if you're keen, let me know!

For obvious reason Terra and I decided that it is absolutely essential to go back to Whanganui Bay. That is in particular because both of us were stupid enough to think we'd have to study ... The plan is to head there on Wednesday, 7 November right after my last exam (12:30) and climb for the full extend of daylight till Friday night. ...

I signed up too and a friend from overseas who is touring NZ these days is coming to Wellington on Friday. So I thought the best thing to do is taking him on a tramp with the coolest people in town. He is also bringing a car which fits 5. According to the email there are just 5 of us. So that'd be fine. Even better would be more ...

Is anyone interested in doing the peak to powderkeg race? Basically is a race from top of Turoa to the powderhorn in Ohakune. It involves skiing, running, biking and beer sculling so sounds like it would be pretty good fun! Anywho's it's on the 13th of oct. Let me know if you are keen. It costs $50 but you get a half price lift ticket if you don't ...

So Syn bar (Bond st off Willlis) at 6ish tonight then?  ''MONDAY - All you can eat HELL pizza from 6 till 8pm $10 a head, $4 pints and $12 pitchers''  And then Transformers at 8.50pm at the Embassy? You mite be able to make it Andrea :) Could even stop off at the malthouse on the way for some quality beer!
