Tomorrow morning is looking cold but I have meeting early so I'll have to be up and going (some times I can leave it a bit later to allow the sun to warm things up.)
The good news about Saturday is there is no netball and the son has a late soccer game so it's a sleep in then a late morning ride to get the fruit and vegetables - first time in months
You watch now someone in our home will forget to turn off the alarm and then I'll be up anyway

Not bad end of trip features here - secure bike racks, showers with towel service, etc. Nice.

There was hardly a rider, walker or jogger this morning. Indeed I did not see my first rider until I had travleed more than a km on the normally busy Kwinana Freeway PSP.
It was a slightly uncomfortable ride into Perth. Some drizzle and copping a bit of salt water spray at South Perth blowing in from Melville Water . But not long after I left my coffee shop to return home the squalls came in. And they were COLD squalls. Pancho on, head sock on, gloves on. Brrrr.
So while it still required some riding at each end, I took the easy option and caught the train to Bull Creek. Good move.

This morning was beautifully calm, but colder because of it. I rodea fiar way with hands in armpits trying to keep my fingers warm, but it didn't really help.
It's interesting that once I got to work and started to warm up that just before the shower, about 10mins after riding, my chest/stomach skin was icy cold to touch and yet I felt warm.

anyway, it was 4C when i left home. probably at the lower limit of my Gabba (with a base layer). It was more comfortable with my soft shell yesterday.
on another note, i cleaned my cycling glasses with the Kobayashi wipe that came free with this month's issue of Bicycling Australia. WOW! what a big difference. I could see so clearly this morning. I had to double-check t0 make sure I had the right pair of glasses on! More importantly, it didn't fog up when i stopped, exactly as advertised.

I hear the Hmmmm?? and say yes it's normal. The coldest part of the day is just after sun rise. Riding on Tuesday morning to my mates place at 6am there was a light covering of frost. Leaving his place an hour latter there was twice as much frost.caneye wrote:yup. pretty cold in Sydney too. 4C at 6am, 3.8C at 7am (hmmm??).
It has been that way for as long as I can remember - and not only in Sydney it was like that out on my uncles farm in Canowindra as well.
I think we are in for plenty more cold days.
