Bypassing the truth
- WellUrban
- How sweet. The competition to name the Inner City "Bypass" has been won by Te Aro School, with the name "Karo" Drive. Apparently, "The K represents the kids, Aro their school. Karo is also a small native New Zealand tree that produces sweetly scented red flowers in Spring and grows very well in Wellington". Maybe it's just me, but I don't usually associate "sweetly scented red flowers" with a bloody great arterial road that's been shoved through a city neighbourhood.

Run No. 1629: End of Bridge Road, Akatarawa
- Wellington Hash House Harriers
- A Boon special this week. As natural logic would dictate, a great run set by Boon, great food and new t-shirts meant that I got the prick of the week. Who was that new bald guy that awarded it to me anyway?
