Due to a long period of fatigue and demotivation I have been having impure thoughts about an e-bike. I even went and met some, but maybe I'll try getting fit again first. Signed up for two R2W breakkies so far

This morning it was raining at my place so i started putting on the velotoze over shoes. They take forever to get on. I finally get them on, open the garage door and it had stopped raining

I don't know about riding in the heat in those mountains, but I do remember riding over there in the mountains in Austria and Italy very much. Glorious. Absolutely glorious. And every hill here feels like nothing in comparison.Cyclophiliac wrote:I just had my 2nd 30° commute home in a row, and of course the heat just reminded me again of the glorious mid-30s heat I had in the European Alps and Pyrenees (especially the latter) in late June to early July. But then it doesn't take much to remind me of that trip: a steep and/or long hill will also do that. I wish I was back there, where cyclists are just treated as road users: nothing more or less.

I took the bus today too. Ironically, I consider myself a bike commuter but I don't ride on most Wednesdays due to after work activities, so I missed out on the Ride2Work stuff here in Brisbane.

Agreed. The hills on my commute seemed flatter than usual when I got back, and I've still managed to keep that overall level of fitness since returning.g-boaf wrote:I don't know about riding in the heat in those mountains, but I do remember riding over there in the mountains in Austria and Italy very much.

5th puncture for in the last two weeks for me yesterday arvo - completely over this rain and all the crap it washes on paths.jasonc wrote:I had drizzle and wet roads this morning. The breakfast at the law courts was empty.

Also didn't stop for breakfast yesterday... would have felt a bit weird being the only cyclist there.
Much better commute this morning. I see there's even a bit of sunlight currently, hope that sticks around.

Very gnarly looking crash on the Kwinana path as I headed south of the Narrows, rider well and truly down, being tended to by several others and ambos en-route when I passed. According to a fellow who was warning traffic upstream, one of the first on scene was a doctor. Those there seemed to have things under control so I figured the best contribution I could make was to get out of the way and keep going Hope he recovers well.

Bit of a hot 30deg headwind on the way home though, but great to see so many out riding their bikes where I would usually be the loansome rider slogging it to work without seeing another rider.
