"I saw a weather report this morning that said "the rain will stop at 9:30". It was so definite and so unusual that I thought it was worth the risk. We had coffee at Foi Epi in case there were any late arrivals wanting to join the 3 of us and then headed out. We arrived at Matticks fairly dry with just a steady light mist on the way out. We had a fairly lengthy coffee break, and on the way back it was more of a light drizzle. No incidents and no mechanicals so overall we had a good ride. "

And to prove they did the ride here is a link to the route:

The not so hardy [sensible? weak?] sought out the comfort of the Union Pacific for a coffee. We were on a different planet from the Hardy Boys - it was raining heavily when we arrived and still raining when we left almost an hour later, yet we were only a kilometre apart on the other side of the Upper Harbour
