It's my ears that suffer but I can't wear a beanie or headband without getting too hot. Catch 22 so just have to HTFU

But then again I could HTFU and go out there without my left brifter

Yep, I didn't go anywhere today either - too windy and too much debris all over the place. My ride yesterday afternoon spent more time dodging fallen branches than anything else. It was still fun - but I won't do that again for a while. I hear it'll settle down tomorrow.AndrewBurns wrote:Considering going for a quick ~6.5km ride to get some coffee beans this morning, wind could be exciting but big sticks and fallen branches all over the shop could be dangerous...

Saturday + Inner West = car park. I had to take my son to tennis about 10 minutes up the road. Took 30 minutes. If you don't have to, don't drive! BTW, if you are looking for good coffe beans around Concord, try Di Stefano's on Parramatta Rd at North Strathfield. They are a specialist coffee joint. There is another one next to the car wash on the corner of Parramatta Rd and George St that is supposed to be quite good as well.AndrewBurns wrote:Just came back from my ride to Concord to get some coffee, glad I went because it was an interesting ride. Got a little lost at one point but found my way to a bus stop with a map of the area on it and had no problems from there on. All up 13km in 33 minutes, the best thing is that I drove to and from the same place at about the same time two weeks ago and it took me 1.5 hours by car, now that I know the route I'm certainly not doing that again.

It felt just a little bit more dangerous on the roads this morning.
Maybe it was just me and not the cars
Have a safe ride,

It was a lovely morning but I think you were right about the roads, I had two near-incidents this morning which is unusual for me, I thought it might be the full moon but the moon is almost completely dark right now...humanbeing wrote:Brilliant morning.

+1. Over the last week or so the cagers seem to have become a little more aggressive. Either they're not paying attention, or the Sun is causing problems, or they just got their latest electricity bill. I've been regularly cut off by turning cars, had pushy cars trying to merge me onto their bumper/door, and just some general stupdity. On the flip side, I've also had some very courteous behaviour where cars have been patient until I've had the chance to get out of their way.humanbeing wrote:Brilliant morning.

++1 I had to take radical evasive action in the roundabout at Kingsford as a white van that I was sure must have seen me continued on his merry way into the roundabout .goneriding wrote:+1.

Rule #1 - never assume you've been seen or given the right of way.
