Today I rode out of Wellington with [@rowansimpson](http://twitter.com/rowansimpson?ref=vaughan.ai) and [@lancewiggs](http://twitter.com/lancewiggs?ref=vaughan.ai) in rain and hail (which we dodged in a [bush shelter](http://twitpic.com/4vjgd?ref=vaughan.ai)), and a little bit of sun towards the end. We decided to pick one of the meanest hills out of Wellington through the Akatarawa Valley climbing 450 meters. The view from the top was fantastic!

Thanks to Rowan and his all his bike technology we also tracked our elevation and speed.
