It was nice weather pretty much all day.

Windy
Have a great ride,
Peter

HOT

0530 temp at richmond was 14 degrees instead of the usual 5.
first (outdoor) ride that ive actually ended up sweaty afterwards since april

First commute without a base layer and fingerless gloves this morning. Sticky!

Fabulous morning for a cruise around the eastern beaches.
Hope you have a good ride,
Peter

Another beautiful morning.
Hope you have a great ride,

Don’t know about you, but I found the traffic terrible this morning. Left about the usual time, and yet there were queues of cars in places where I never usually see them at the time I pass through. Made for a slow trip. Still, the weather was very pleasant, cool, sunny and with no wind. Quite a contrast to last Friday night, when it was cold and crazily windy. Looking forward to a much better run home tonight.

Really? I was thinking the opposite but I head into work (near Hornsby) at the back of 6am and home around 4pm and it was quieter than usual both ways.

Small world.. I live in Hornsby and commute to Sydney Olympic Park. Normally leave around 06:45. Usually the only place I encounter any significant traffic is heading through West Ryde and crossing over the railway line at Meadowbank. Yesterday there was virtual gridlock at these places with long queues of stationary vehicles. At Meadowbank I got off the bike and walked over railway bridge to get onto the cycleway to Rhodes. And, to add insult to injury, I found the newly opened waterside cycle path blocked at Rhodes by a rubbish lorry emptying the bins along the foreshore.. I think the cosmic forces had decided to give me a tough day.. Fortunately the run home was back to normal

Good ride in this morning - realy nice weather and as it is warming up I am looking to do more kms.

Nice setting sun at the moment so will be heading home shortly.

Good ride in this morning - foggy when I left home but the sun was out when I got to work. Last night was a good ride as well.

The shared path on the M7 is getting more riders all the time - looks like it is going to be a nice warm summer.

My turn to notice heavy traffic - stationary only 2 km from home, which meant I have pretty much 8 km of riding past the traffic jam. Ah well that's one of the major reasons for riding a bike

Enjoy today cause the forecast for tomorrow doesn't look so great

Beautiful morning!
I just had to stop and take in the sunrise at Maroubra Beach.
Have a great ride,
Peter

Good weather this morning - looking poor at best now - will be riding with the wet weather gear on the way home.

Hope it is better tomorrow because the wife and kids will have to ride to school as I am dropping the car off to the mechanic for a service. Riding in the rain doesn't bother me but the kids don't have a shower at school that they can use.

Yep twas a cold & wet trip home yesterday, but today you got your wish. Only complaint from me was wet shoes this morning

Amazing weather today, especially this morning. Beautiful sunshine and warm. I was toasty warm for the whole ride.

Weather was beautiful today, I didn't have time to appreciate it though because I was smashing myself so hard on the way to and from Waterfall... Much more enjoyable walking around the cliffs at Bondi this afternoon.

Pretty good out there this morning. A bit warmer today and a nice headwind riding out to La Perouse.
Have a great ride,
Peter

Brilliant morning
All dried up from last night and glorious.
Have a great ride.
Peter

It does look nice this morning - shame I couldn't find the time this morning to go for a ride. It would make up for getting very wet yesterday.

Great morning for a ride - Wish I didn't have to go to work or I would have just kept going.

Still enjoyed it and will getto enjoy the ride home too. Got to love this commuting caper.

Fabulous morning
Hazy near on the coast. I had a motorist yell at me at La Perouse at 5.45 am to "get some rego plates".
Have a great ride,
Peter

Agree - good morning for a ride. Enjoyed it.

Humanbeing - glad to see you have seen our "friend" Allan Jones - next time you see him you should ask him to get a real job and maybe he may work on those neural pathways and engage the pea between his ears .

I suppose I'd be cranky too if I listened to Alan Jones every morning.
Some motorists get annoyed because of the huge grin on my face when I ride my bike
What are you going to do?

Tough for them to take seeing someone enjoying life so much on two-wheels with nothing more than pedal power.

Alan Jones must be the radio equivalent of Piers Akerman. Both of them big piles of bile and hatred. And they both cause me to have steam coming from my ears.

And on the smiling front, how could anyone not be grinning with the weather this morning! Average temperature 22.4°C according to my Garmin - just beautiful. Really enjoyable morning for a ride and I had great fun. No magpies either today.
