Weasels in the wind

After 2 weeks off the bike due to a combination of tonsillitis and bad weather I headed out today in the mornings miserable weather. My feeling the whole ride was mirrored by the weather. Headed into the glorious valley from the Te-Marua entrance and came out the other end at Blue Mountains, it was a very slow and very sluggish 40k ride in the wind which couldn't make up its mind for which way it should blow. The highlight of the ride was the weasel that ran across the road in front of me. Can't say I've ever seen a weasel before, especially in the light of day running across in front of traffic (yes I am traffic), don't think I've ever seen road kill weasel before either. Here's Mr. Weasel, this isn't actually him but it looked just like him, my one was a bit skinner and not standing around to pose for photos.
Teliho.

    now i'm confuces, I thought it was a ferrit at first, but their tails aren't fluffy and long. Nick checked that we have weasels in NZ and apparently we do. And i dont think it was a stoat, so im going with weasel. :D
