Rain rain go away

I know we need the water and I know Capetonians love this weather because it gives them an excuse to sit in front of their fire places and vegetate, but man I am desperate to ride my bike!

It's been nearly two weeks since I last rode her and every time I see RB (my Honda CRF250X) parked in the garage, I itch to fire her up.

The rest of the family are also dead keen. Reece (our 8 year old) is trying to satisfy his throttle hand's twitch by playing Motocross Madness 2 on his PC. The twins (12) are trying to keep their testosterone at bay by driving like maniacs on Need For Speed Carbon on their PS2. We really need to get out!

Dump has recovered from her knee surgery and is trying to prove to us that she's ready to get back on her bike by hopping all over the house on her injured leg. Talk about desperate! But then again, she hasn't ridden for nearly 3 months.

Weather.com says it will be partly cloudy tomorrow, Sunday and Monday. Last night they said it would be raining on all three days. Is it impossible to predict the weather in the Western Cape, or is it true that weather bureaus are the only companies on the planet that pay their employees to get it wrong 90% of the time?

PS: I heard a good one today: What is the definition of optimistic? A South African batsman putting on sun screen before going out to bat :-)
