Had a lazy morning so after lunch I decided to HTFU out around Ilparpa loop, out to the Airport, back into town for a coffe, up Anzac hill and back home....Loop around 55km and temp OVER 27c Wind really kicked in towards the end with darn 30km headwind...
Had a quick look at the Penrith Temp in Sydney, a massive 15c today... BWHAHAHAHA.... Sorry, I cant help it, 27c was just awesome today. Heading out with the Alice Club tomorrow morning for another 60km

Get all that laughter out of your system now Pete because you won't be laughing Monday morning when it's 0°C for your commute to work. I'll be the one laughing
I think I need to buy some warmer cycling gear

it sooo sux when you're cold, thats one thing that used to $hit me before I spent the $$$. Thermal tops are relatively cheap from Anaconda or similar, the skins are there too, get the slazenger or similar, they are cheap. The long sleeve jersey is probably the killer, a good one is gunna be over $100 at least. Booties, buy the bloody things, cold feet is a shocker Oh, and get a Gillet or similar... yeah ok me not ur mumma but you get the drift
My first minor hill climb in 6 months pushed the legs, going to plan doing lots of reps up Anzac hill, I think thats where my sanity will be found 10 reps is the go I reckon
