Doing the North or South Island version ? If SI, yes, you'll get through but it'll be on boring routes.
Wasn't aware of closures in the North.
Weather where you are?

Southern! You can tell by how much I packed. I only take summer clothes for the Cold Kiwi
They’re out assessing bridges for scouring now... hopefully they’ll get enough open and not too muddy. I was intending to do 79 and 8 but we’ll see. Not sure I’ve got time for the West Coast route...
Chris: Oleo Mac. Italian. So it’s high performance, looks great, perfectly balanced, needs constant maintenance...

Enough roads and bridges open for our little band of 4-5000 riders to get to the 40th Brass Monkey rally, held at Oturehua, on record as the coldest place in NZ. Luckily we were able to have a little campfire to warm our toes
P.S.good to meet you Greg

It was about the size of 5 houses... no chance of it spreading though, nothing else there except rocks and scenery

I did the Green Ginger Guzlers a few times. No fire like that there.

The H.O.G. held there hogout about half a mile up the road from us a couple of times. The organisers had been accumulating firewood for months.
I think they even got some of our hedge trimmings. Local fire brigade was on standby....Not as big as that one though.
I was a bit surprised to see quite a few small bikes on the road south on Friday. I'd suspect rather more than normal for the last one ever.
My helper who does the heavy lifting seems to be absent too. Probably went down there, he's a hardy type.
Nice to meet Andy and friend. Don't see a lot of Laverdas on the road here.

North Shore Lake Huron for June - Right now HOT (17/30C) with thunder storms - Typical weather on the North Shore of the Great Lakes for this time of the year.
The North Shore weather of the Great Lakes has one of the Best 4 Season Climates on Earth; However, erratic storms are dangerous.

Snow everywhere and freezing cold in Melbourne - wind has finally died down but it certainly tested our big backyard trees over the last 24h! Trees down all over the place in other parts of Victoria.

Wind is a problem alright, and not just as you get older...
On the plus side, it creates next year’s firewood
