Nice Week , considering the weather Thought I was going to get a dry one this morning buuuut down it came again.fullsteamahead wrote:Thought it was ok this morning, out to Dayboro and back, light drizzle mostly, short wetting shower as i left Dayboro, seemed a bit cooler today which made for a better ride.
Finished off a neat 300km for the week, had to go past my house and come back to make sure it was a neat round figure

Not enough breeze and too much humidity! Very nice during winter though.

And winter is typically defined as "that cold snap that lasts about 2 weeks"

I guess it gave me time to prep the bike and attach the battery for tomorrow mornings ride, providing it's not raining.

I had a great dry 50K at first light this morning though.
I hope it's belting down tomorrow morning as my bike is in getting a little TLC and I'm going to have sleep in.
