Yeah, it's very cold around there. The area around Cowpasture Road going south on the M7 is also particularly cold.Rockford wrote:God it was cold this morning. I had 1C according to Garmin. Area around Rooty Hill on the M7 is probably the coldest on my morning ride, you can just feel the temp going down as you ride through there.
I'm hoping it won't be too cold tonight. I'm going to try for 75 or 100km.

I get on at Quakers Hill Parkway, the shared path there is colder as well - but feels warmer once I ride through Western Sydney parkland (along eastern Creek) There has been frost on the ground there every day for the last week.g-boaf wrote:Yeah, it's very cold around there.

Still a nice sunny day for the ride in even if a little cold.

I had no feeling in my hands, the carbon handlebars on my bike were like touching blocks of ice, even with gloves that are usually quite warm.

It was a chilly one wasn't it? I bought some booties during the week as i was sick of lumps of ice for feet so at least my toes were warm today. My nose and cheeks resembled Rudolf though.g-boaf wrote:The average temperature during my short 50km ride this morning was 2ºC.

Mine as well I'm sure were like that. It was really, really cold. Ordered one of these for the next time I ride in very early morning:Hergest wrote:It was a chilly one wasn't it?

I saw people this morning with scarfs wrapped around their necks and any other kind of implement to keep the chill away. It was damn cold. The worst thing was actually once I'd stopped - what little bit of sweat the jersey must have soaked up got really, really cold.
It's a shame McDonalds at Prestons decided to have their air-con going on cooling, rather than heating.

I was out there this morning though not as early as you, at 7:30 for a two hour ride with shorts and a jacket with no gloves. Hands were numb, and moving my fingers was hard enough. Legs and feet were fine I think. I actually preferred stopping. The wind chill was the worst flying down the hills after Lizzy Dr.g-boaf wrote:

It's been windy the past week, and looks to be rainy the coming. I think I'll stick to building bikes this week.
It is a full moon tonight, and it's so bright. I reckon you don't even need lights if you wanna ride now.

I've just come back from a couple of hours out on the bike paths around Holroyd and Fairfield. Along the Greystanes Canal i rode into the full setting moon, it was glorious. The colour slowly changed from yellow through to orange and finally as the grubby atmosphere showed itself it turned a pale ochre before setting. The moment it set an enormous bright free range egg yolk orange sun rose which was in my eyes nearly all the way home. I couldn't see bugger all.QuangVuong wrote:

Quite possibly. Today was my first chance to ride to work since June 27 after having school holiday leave.QuangVuong wrote:Hasn't that road has been resurfaced since at least the beginning of the month. It was nice and smooth going up the hill.
