Well, its going official through work on tuesday, so I may as well let you all know as well.
I've been promoted (sort of), and will be moving to Wellingotn some time before Christmas, probably before the end of November.
If i can swing it, I plan to get a weeks holiday before I go so i can finish my XC track. But otherwise, I'll have to leave it unfinished  Be a shame to leave Whangarei just when the riding scene is getting better and the trails are bedding in for the summer - but its a career move I cant turn down.
At least my new job comes with more $$ for bling

Sorry, you'll be needing that just to cover the cost of living and lattes down here. Oh, and the extra warm cycling gear you'll need.
'tis worth it though

My truck costs the same to live in no matter where I park it  and the job comes with free latte's,
and being an ex welly towner - I still have all my warm gear 
so bring on the bling !

No matter where I end up I tend to end up building, will be good to see if I can find some of the 'hidden' single track I built on the hills around summit Rd
