Raining here today...again...Iv'e decided its just no fun setting off in the rain..getting caught..now thats different. (no ks for 3 days)

Me too, I'm sick of cleaning the bike as well...got to do it again tonight as we got caught out with wet roads yesterday afternoon!

Cleaning the bike tonight in hope of it being fine at 5am

I managed to squeeze a river loop late this afternoon but got caught in the light shower on the way back and got a flat to top it all .... now for cleaning the bike again ..... that's twice in the rain since sunday

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 live in Brisbane because of Melbourne's weather. I still remember the light bulb moment 23 years ago on my first holiday to Brisbane, standing in the rain on a hot summers night downing a beer and not being cold. I couldn't even imagine moving back now.

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

There I was this morning, up at 5am, clear skies, don the MAMIL suit and walk out to the garage.
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

Oh man... I did one too and finished at the garage. The fog was heavenly and the roads were empty. It onlt cleared on the way home after coffee.

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!!

Neither did my mates but as I rolled towards them I yelled "ye of little faith!". It was packed

If it was packed Mr Marinmomma wouldn't have bothered to wait for a coffee

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. Unbeatable. The coffee is even pretty good. We only waited about ten minutes this morning

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

What a magnificent day for a ride today!!! Thankyou, weather gods, for allowing me some time in the saddle without having to consider what to wear, or which bike I should take. Just enoying the simple pleasures of riding on a beautiful day!

Nundah to Redcliffe and return this morning. 73k, beautiful sunshine, great company.
Dasiy Hill this afternoon. Thunderstorm as soon as we hit 5 ways, 8k and slightly freaked by the lighting.

Severe weather warning for Brisbane and environs ATM. Rain, hail, flash flooding etc. Looks like southern suburbs are affected for now. Inner northern suburbs are just fine..... for now.

Managed to do a 55k loop Friday afternoon but got caught on the way back home in the torrential rains....that was the worst ever.
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

[Max]

A great riding day today! It threatened to rain, but didn't. The day was a little humid to start with, but cooled down towards the end of my ride. 85Km of good times

More showers this morning but squeezed another 65k .... Time to invest in shoe covers and some winter gears I think

[Comedian]

Dodged the rain this morning... yaaay. Thought I dodged it tonight... got to within 500m of home and hammered
