Know what you mean, though. Got out for a trail ride with soem mates 7am Sunday morning. By the 8:30 finish I was well and truly over the heat, and the legs were letting me know they weren't happy after 2 weeks of no weekend traininag rides due to rain.

Bike is very second hand at the moment, chain has washed the grease out, rear derailleur has gone laggy when shifting in both directions.

Forecast for Sunday is rain periods, so it looks like a 100km single speed road/ bike path ride to the bay is highly likely. I'll bet it's very quiet there as well which is a real pity in some ways, but eerily pleasant in others.

Cotter Road, Yarralumla Woolshed/Equestrian park - park at the woolshed and up and over the horse cross country course
Dunrossil Drive - near the GG's house - down the bikepath hill, under Lady Denman Drive and chuck a right...
Kirkpatrick street - down past the horse paddock on the corner to the path that goes along parallel to the river down to streeton drive.
But if you drown yourself, please don't blame me.

i must've been looking at his post up a bit. I'll be there in about an hour and a half wallowing around doing photos. I wouldn't be riding over the wooden bridge below the dam now... Not with water lapping not far below it.

The erosion from the river has caused major damage - parts of the path missing, and massive earthquake like cracks over a span of about 50 metres. It's buggered and will take considerable expense and time to fix - and worst of all has put paid to the popular "full lap of the lake" ride as there's no other way through.
