Well it might be just me but that's the first time I've heard of a Giant being referred to as exoticg-boaf wrote:

hahaha! Same here too. The bike today doesn't look white and silver any more. I'll clean the chain and cassette but won't bother with anything else. If I ride tomorrow it'll probably get just as dirty.Rockford wrote:*cough*

I can ride with it in a way that doesn't cause pain - avoid bumps and the like (I go slow over them), no big sudden acceleration.Tbanger wrote:What happened to the broken rib?

I left at 6:30am this morning to do the same M7 loop, except I went via Glenwood. I planned to go back that way too. By the time I got Elizabeth Drive on the way back - I gave up and went home via the Liverpool-Parramatta T-way road. I did get pretty thoroughly soaked and my bike is looking very messy. 81km not bad considering.Hergest wrote:Indeed, but i had a thoroughly enjoyable 82kms doing that M7 loop in reverse this morning.

http://www.smh.com.au/environment/weath ... 32ygd.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Workers in Sydney should consider leaving work early on Wednesday, especially those who live in northern suburbs, to escape a band of thunderstorms likely to hit the city in the afternoon.
Sydney may get 10-30 millimetres of rain and some pockets could cop much heavier falls, particularly in the city’s north, Weatherzone meteorologist Rob Sharpe said.
"It will probably be quite a dangerous afternoon on the roads, coming back from work,” Mr Sharpe said.

It seems like tonight will be bad weather. If track training is cancelled, I'm going to put the bike on the trainer and get some music going. It takes something special to make me do that. I hate trainers.

My homeward commute was from 15:10 to 16:00ish and while it was constant the rain was only light. Due to the temperature it was one of the most pleasant wet rides I can remember doing.

I would normally have gone in, but I had so much to do that working from home seemed a better option, except for the missed bike ride.Boognoss wrote:Softqueequeg wrote:Working from home today, so looks like I picked a good day to skip, even though I looks great out there right now!

On the up side, my ride in this morning felt great after the day off.
