The video at http://s991.photobucket.com/user/colino ... f.mp4.html does it more justice than the pic but I can't post a video-window from Photobucket so here's a teaser pic.
In the video have a look further up the path (near top of screen) of the video and you can see the SERIOUS bit. I had a lot of salt to wash out of my pancho and my spray jacket.
Anyway, the image is:

Ride in was pretty good- picked up a KOM (5th one ever), wind wasn't an issue and it didn't rain. Plenty of branches down, there is a new jump on the PSP just south of Erindale Road due an uprooted tree and several trees down around Glendalough but largely all good.
Picked up a large chunk of glass just before arriving at work- I hope I have managed to remove it before it punctured the tube- shall see at lunchtime.

Entirely the same expereience. My ride in was from 5:40 to 7:20 and from the south like you.Parker wrote:I ran from Applecross to West Perth this morning, didn't get rained on until I turned onto Hay Street and then it was a little spitty... Some spray from the waves hit me. Contrary to the belief at my work place... I'll not die.
When I woke to Eoin Cameron telling me that the winds were going to be 35-50kph and the worst to hit Perth in "about thirty minutes time" I had a brief moment of indecision. As it was it was one of the better rides in that I have had in the last few weeks.
I didn't get anything to worry about all through Bateman, Brentwood, Mt Pleasant or Como. At one stage around the Royal Perth Golf Course I did get a few drops. So I checked to the west and saw some crap over towards Claremont so I put my pancho on for the only time. I needn't have bothered.
However, there were certainly some swells in the ocean earlier as the river was way up. And the river-side lane of Kwinana Freeway near Canning Bridge had been closed for water on the road but there was none by the time I was there. A little bit of detritus here and there and a few of those temporary fencings knocked over. And that was the extent of it.
All in all a good ride. I will see if the wind is so gentle with me on the way home.

I came across one of the eminently familiar BNA personalities on my trip home. She was on foot so, for once, I did not have to pedal at my extreme limits to have a conversation.
I regret that I did not think to ask if Missy is your real name Missy. Perhaps next time.

Me! The former Missy24 who changed ger name to Parker. Real name Rowena (promise)!ColinOldnCranky wrote:This arvo proved, like this morning, to be not at all unpleasant. There was a fair bi tof wind but nothign excessive. And the river was about a metre lower than the morning which greatly reduced the amount of spray coming across the path in Como.

I was so happy to finally see you, you're well known and I've been on the look out for you for over a year!

The poor cheese-cutter cyclone fence is doing a good job of holding up the tree.
Windy weather with not much rain, fine Saturday Sunday forecast with a glimpse of milder repeat next week.
