PH Run this weekend?
Discussion
If I suggest to Jim that we do the north loop on Sunday, we'll be up around the back of albany... perhaps if you can suggest a nice speedbump-free carpark for all the northeners/westerners to meet up at, I could bring the TVR crew along from greenlane at around 11:30ish for a meet-up and a blat out from there? 
The greenlane dips in the gutter are too extreme for me too. I will have to hook up on the shore. What about meeting point no.2 at north harbour stadium ? the parking is massive and minimal humps or nil if I remember. I so far have Nick (black Esprit SE) meeting me at my place around 11:30ish we could hook up over there around 12ish?
I wonder if I could deliver a Starbucks from the Pac 'n' Save without spilling it. 
Balance them on your tea tray at the back Weather forecast still looking good 
, but watch out for this if you don't have a roof

Sunburn danger this weekend
1.00pm Friday September 22, 2006
New Zealand will suffer a record "low ozone event" for spring on Sunday meaning people could burn even if the weather is cool, climate scientists are warning.
Niwa said space agencies are forecasting that there could be 23 per cent less ozone over New Zealand than the average for this time of year, making it highly likely people could burn if the weather is good.
The forecast comes from the Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute and the European Space Agency. They say a sliver or filament of low ozone air circulating in the stratosphere around Antarctica will spin off and pass over much of New Zealand.
"Ozone values of about 275 Dobson Units are possible, whereas the September average at Lauder, Central Otago, is 358 Dobson Units,' says Dr Greg Bodeker of the National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research.
"The forecast suggests that the ozone values around noon on Sunday are likely to be a record low for this time of the year,' says Dr Bodeker.
New Zealand ozone records began in 1970.
The forecast low ozone will push UV levels higher than usual for this time of year.
Wendy Billingsley, a spokesperson for SunSmart, says protection will be essential if the day is clear or partly cloudy.
Protection is essential when UV levels reach 6. According to Niwa, if the skies are clear, the forecast low ozone means that UV levels in the south of New Zealand are likely to increase from a typical September noon-time UV index of 4 to 5.5.
In the north of the country, the noon UV index could be as high as 8 compared to the usual September value of around 6.5.
At southern ski fields, where the snow-covered surface enhances UV levels, the reduced ozone could cause noon-time UV levels to increase from 6 to close to 8.
A UV index of 8 represents very high UV levels, though not the levels reached on a sunny summer day.

I've got one out of three. Well actually two, if I can count both helmets. 2¼ as one of the helmets has two visors.
I see Ted has given us a sunburnt bald patch smilie

Which carpark do you use?
The southern one, opposite the Caltex (ex Challenge) Gas Station; or
The northern one, off the main entrance next to the RC Car Track
