That's me! Yesterday arvo I caught the train and bus home because of lightning. Then I had to walk three blocks from the bus to home in the lightning. It was way to close for comfort. I should have ridden.eldavo wrote:On behalf of all Perth excusers who are silent here, it's a week of humidity, lightning, thunder and a dash more humidity.

I've ridden all week and can honestly say that this morning is the wettest I've been, purely from the 90% humidity. The wet days were refreshing compared to todayeldavo wrote:On behalf of all Perth excusers who are silent here, it's a week of humidity, lightning, thunder and a dash more humidity.

Mate you should take a break - for all of next week; while I am at the sales conference for work. No room for a bike and no opportunity to ride even if I could.Robinho wrote:I've ridden all week and can honestly say that this morning is the wettest I've been, purely from the 90% humidity.

I've got some discomfort in a calf muscle and I'm targeting one of those obstacle course mud run things last weekend in March and a 10k run two weeks after that, so I'm looking after my body and not doing lake laps today. Probably not riding to work tomorrow either.

Physio has denied me any exercise until at least next Friday .
Long term goals for the end of March and mid April have me listening to her though.
