Perth rides lately
Postby damonik » Fri Sep 17, 2010 11:58 am
After a spectacularly good winter for riding I'm not complaining, but the morning easterly and the afternoon seabreeze are already starting to annoy me, bring on next autumn already!
On the plus side, the cycling tan is already coming along nicely and I'm sure all that hard work into the afternoon seabreeze down the Kwinana freeway will pay off.

I froze my @rse off this morning. It looked warm out so I didn't wear my winter woolies. I was shivering by the 1/4 mark. I am very lucky though to have lovely hot showers at work. Mmmm.... warm showerPortableDave wrote:On the plus side it's far more comfortable temperature wise leaving for work in the morning.

Ummm...yesterday I had a SS jersey, LS jersey and gillet, then knicks and knee warmers. My feet were cold. It's the coldest weather I will ride in.nathann wrote:No more having to dress up to keep warm while riding yayPortableDave wrote:On the plus side it's far more comfortable temperature wise leaving for work in the morning.

I've got no excuses apart from having a few beers before leaving work and feeling lazy (besides, he was going really fast!!:P) He had a BTA shirt on so perhaps he is a forum member here.
If so, thanks for the lift!
Hills ride tomorrow, easterly looks... "Fresh" UGH!

I think I was averaging between 15-20km/h heading East... then when I swung around towards the coast I was averaging 30-50km/h, without much pedalling .

I could leave work at anytime, but I'm normally home by 4.40. If someone organises a meeting for me, though, I might be passing through at that time ...damonik wrote:4.40pm tomorrow on the top of the Narrows mate?Kalgrm wrote:No worries mate. Any time.

Better not wait for me though.

Did a 135km ride on Sunday from South perth out to Campersic road (Brigadoon) and going into the wind all the way was hard work but going back was great. Tacked on a loop round the river and the second half into the wind from Freo to South perth definately finished me off for the day.

Caught out- but its all true, caught it on the Ord.Just how far are you riding each day zues? I thought you could only pick them up in the tropics.
Never know with climate change, might be able to catch one from the Swan in 50years
