Same. I am sitting at my desk at work surrounded by bits of clothing and gear that I am trying to dry out.jasonc wrote:got drenched this morning
That includes my front light. I have a Moon Meteor 100 light. When it gets wet, it turns itself on in flashing mode. I cannot control it or switch it off until it dries out. Odd...

Riding through the school zone near home had a parent try to door me (no I am not that silly, clearance good, spidey senses set to max both for dooring & general parental driving stupidity) I was pleasantly surprised a block after the school when a BMW SUV alongside me stopped rather than left hooking me,. As it happens I was turning left as well & waved them through, but its always nice to see someone driving with obvious care

Supposed to be racing tonight after work in a twilight crit series at Nundah, don't think that will be going ahead!

Glad I chickened out and left the bike in the garage. Not so concerned about the moisture but the inevitable flats from all the crud washed over those paths along Kedron Brook makes me soft.

I should also say drenched too as the sweat factor is substantial in these conditions. Had to ride between campuses in the middle of the afternoon too, not the best time to be riding in this weather.

The in the final up and over got a bit of a chat in the quarry section as it is apparently now a construction site and I shouldn't ride through there any more. LAst week nothing, this morning multiple trucks, diggers, people and a site shed. Oh well, will need to explore a bit further and take a different trail next time, I wasn't going to backtrack up the hill. I have an alternative planned for this arvo, but it hinges on a gap being in a fence.

Same again this afternoon, except it went up to 35.8 just on the last (and toughest) hill climb (I live in Ringwood North, which is NOT flat). Then I looked at a thermometer a little while ago, and thought "how did it suddenly get that low?", and realised the temperature had dropped 6° in 30 minutes: hellooo, cool change! Now I just have to get the snorkel ready for tomorrow's commutes.Cyclophiliac wrote:34 to 35°C for the entire 27.5km ride home. I'm just glad I took one of the shorter routes.
