Qld weather venting posts
Postby brades68 » Sun Jan 30, 2011 10:38 am
I'm glad i got my first 500km month in before this weekend. Right now BOM reports wind gusts at Yeppoon +50km/hr and wind speed of 33km/hr, it will blow a dog off the chain. Nice day otherwise, but not for long - cyclones coming x2
just what we need here, more water
cheers

Seriously, I hope you are all alright up there and don't get too wet with this cyclone.

An interesting demonstration of biology and science, whilst in motion it feels tolerable but as soon as you stop sweat starts running like a leaky tap and core temperature rises.
Not nice.

Not that I'm in Brisbane...but I see the apparent temp of Brisbane at 4pm was just under 36 due to the humidityelantra wrote:Brisbane weather today is vile, because of extreme humidity.

Even Condamine was oppressively humid today and it's quite a way inland.

Think of it as cross-training for mountain-biking.

Skiing will be awesome. It is going to snow tonight in Hiroshima, and we are 700km south of the ski field we are going to! The field is getting 25 - 30cm every second or third night!

Yes i think it was a scorcher weekend, i was on the Gold Coast near the ocean for most of it.bendertiger wrote:Absolutely boiling here...I think I might wait until tonight to go for a ride!
31 degrees and humid at Main Beach, which usually means 34 degrees and even more humid inland.
In terms of human physical comfort that is a lot of difference

Just think of it as a contingency plan.brades68 wrote:okay i leave home late sunday, drive to Tieri arriving about 9:30 (3.5hr drive) with the bike on board seeing as i'm here for a few days planning to get at least ne ride in. Monday - no go, by the time i leave the minesite it's near 6pm and no way am i riding the roadways out here at that time of day (B Doubles, Semis, heaps of cars on a coarse chip road.....and i mean coarse!). No worries, Tuesday, early start out there, early finish aiming for 4:30.

If your vehicle breaks down in the middle of nowhere, you can pedal to somewhere for help !

I went on a shop ride this morning and didn't get rained on as such, but the wet roads were enough that my clean bike is now filthy and my clothes and shoes are all wet

Maybe we should lobby to change the name of our soggy city to Brisapore or Singbane ?Comedian wrote:This weather is driving me nuts! It's like Singapore.
There must be some serious water-release occuring from Wivenhoe at the moment.
The river was fractionally over the coro bikeway near the underpass to Lang Parade this morning
