Yep, I feel cheated two days in a row where I had a ride planned and the weather has closed in. 30mins later it fines up, at 6 this mornign it was blowing a gale and raining hard, by 7 it was fine again! Then at 715 when I was going to ride it started raining again!
Made the decison, Im going to ride no matter what, unless it's a storm or wind is over 35kmh/r. I rode all; through winter in some days very bad conditions and loved it.
I feel cheated and angry!

I have been in the dressing gown all morning. The Nectarine tree wind gauge tells me that Carlton is a little calmer than it was this morning, however the Weather Bureau has a 72kph wind on the SE corner of the state. Dogs want to go to the beach. They will have to wait. I am about to dress in my cycling gear.
