Sydney weather this morning!!!

[MoeJoe]

I'd like an early morning ride today, but the winter afternoons are so much better ... Soft, I know.....but my ears and tip of my nose still having feeling unlike after a crack of dawner in a winter morning.

There was ice on the wooden bridge in Galston Gorge, as one of the riders in our Sunday Gorges group found out as he went down. I was at home sleeping after freezing my feet off on Saturday morning. Rider has broken wrist and fractured pelvis from the fall, so watch out for early morning ice/frost in the Gorge. We had the temp at -2.5 on Saturday - ouch!

Wow, I was through the gorge yesterday an hour before the NWSCC guys and Darren reported a bit of slippery action. I didn't observe the same myself (he was ahead of me out of sight so I didn't see him on it) when I rolled across.

Well, the coldest part of the day is just before sunrise, so it might have iced up during that hour.

I read that we've got more of this cold weather on its way...

[ed933]

Gonna be hard to peel myself out of bed then.. At least it wasn't too bad this morning.

[g-boaf]

Heavy fog and really cold!

[tez001]

Yep the heaviest fog I've seen for a while ... take care out there

[biker jk]

I could hear the fog horns from the harbour this morning. Couldn't see the harbour when I went past.

[Hergest]

Interesting morning for sure with the thick and very cold damp fog. The Lynskey is a real mess from the crud thrown up from the roads.

Glorious once the sun burnt the fog off though.

[g-boaf]

The rain and the wind gusts have arrived. A bit of a preview of tomorrow's weather?

I fortunately did get another hour of riding this afternoon on the TT bike to test a couple of changes I did to it. So just over 16 hours this week, 1023TSS and 10,175kJ.

The TT bike is absolutely filthy now, but it was fun to be zipping along at 45km/h+ (or 39km/h with a headwind) and have the heart rate at only 150-160bpm. That's quite enjoyable.

I was walking the mutt along the canal path when you came passed me on the Cervelo. There was a bloke about 30 seconds ahead of you going at a good lick on a Colnago and you looked as if you were riding with a purpose, did you catch him up?

[g-boaf]

Ah, didn't see you. Oops.

I did catch him by Merrylands HS. He went ahead at Reconciliation Road while I waited for the lights to change. I think he was doing about 33km/h or so. It was damn nice to ride at 39km/h or more and not feel like my HR was going through the roof.

As for the weather, it seems to have settled now, but we did have a Jetstar Airbus from Launceston flying racetrack patterns over Greystanes, Parramatta, Prospect, etc waiting for the storm to clear. Must have done about 3-4 loops. That storm must have been pretty violent over the airport.

Edit: spoke too soon about the weather, here comes the next storm.

[recumbenteer]

Getting an early start, out in the #Antarctic Vortex

[find_bruce]

Cold AND wet this morning. Pity it wasn't also windy so I could show how tough I really am

[g-boaf]

VERY cold this morning and wet! It felt colder at 10am than it did earlier in the day.

[Hergest]

Wot a stunner!

[tez001]

Weekend was a stunner, however back to the cold this morning!

[Boognoss]

On the cool side yes but beautiful. Rather have this weather than wet and warmer.

[queequeg]

Cracker of a day. So tempted to divert on the way home!

Same here given that I wussed out this morning and did my short route.

[isabella24]

Beautiful day but yes, it was chilly this morning. 0.9 deg C according to the Garmin.

[tez001]

And blowing a gale on the ride home so no extended commute for me!

[Boognoss]

Double wuss for me in the end, a bit windy this arvo plus a puncture which ate into my time by ten mins. Tomorrow and the rest of the week are other days. Still pretty bloody good winter weather IMHO.
