Wouldn't it be nice if the sun would shine this weekend? Especially as I am heading up to Whangarei on Sunday to umpire some netball trials. Wet soggy shoes are an experience I can well do without.
Back in Rodney there are plenty of things to keep everyone busy.

75 years ago the Helensville Branch of the Returned Soldiers Association was formed. This if their Jubilee weekend. It starts today with a meet, greet and registration (including a roast dinner and dessert).

The Auckland Cycle Challenge - Sunday 4 May 2008
Helensville is definitely the place to be as all courses will start and finish at The Parakai Hot Springs, Nr Helensville. A well established event regularly attracting 1000+ cyclists, it has secured its place firmly on the Auckland road cycling calendar. Hot pool admission is complimentary to all riders. All new course routes for 2008 with a new 150km event which is not for the faint hearted! Catering for all levels of experience with 25km, 55km, 100km and 150km options. Cash prizes plus generous spot prizes. The popular team of 4 riding together category is available in the 55km and 100km races, and a new challenging 150km ride has been added, which can be done individually or in a relay (team of 3). The two longer events kick off at 7.30 am. Watch out for cyclists if you are travelling near State Highway 16 as they will be on the road as far north as Wellsford, down to Kumeu and through Peak Road Kaukapakapa.
The ARC are holding a planting day out at Tawharanui Regional Park from 10am to 3pm. For more details phone 09 366-2000.
And if all else fails, why not wander along to your local library and find a book, magazine, some music or a DVD or just spend time reading amongst the shelves. All Rodney libraries are open Saturday morning (Whangaparaoa and Orewa are open until 4pm) and Mahurangi East is also open Sunday morning.
Have a fantastic weekend.
