Noooo, it's not THAT bad is it??
We're nearly at the end of it....by next month the wet stuff 'should' be almost finished and our mild sunny 'winter' days will be with us once again!!!
Have you ever lived through a southern winter??? In my experience it's something to be avoided at all costs!

I thought there was something a little odd about you... couldn't quite put my finger on it but it makes sense now.

Open the garage door an take the bike down off the rack, I hear the rain coming in the trees. Put the bike back on the rack and go back into the house and look at the radar. Great, only a passing shower, I'll wait it out and go later.
I went 15 minutes later and got 5k down the road and got drowned. Stuff it, I'll do 30k anyway. I'm a big boy I can clean the bike again.
Another great morning on the Liquid Sunshine Coast. At least the rain is warm.
Now tomorrow, well that will be differernt. Clear skies and 60K, or at least 50k or a sleep in. I'll see in the morning.
This rain and Easter away has really stuffed my plans for the month
Edited for spelling

I didn't think that they'd be open today, we took the shorter way home and didn't go back into Southbank because we thought that most places would be shut

Will have to remember that for next years Good Friday morning ride!!

Oh Puhleeese! It's one of the great pleasures of cycling. Sitting at the garage .. ogling all the fancy bikes, looking at and talking to all the other cyclists.

I agree, I love going there and the coffee is good, it's just the other half gets impatient

Sunday was good with a 85k loop to new farm so happy with that..... Rest day today and another 55k in the morning but let's see if the rain is going to stay clear. Predictions are here to stay for the week
