Nasty storm and wind. Crazy out there. I saw the Newcastle express train go through Wynyard headed for the harbour bridge even due to the line being blocked at Epping.

Pure good luck. I rushed home 'coz the missus wanted to go for a bike ride instead of a swim. Just as we'd got

the pool, not on the bike and it was hard to find an argument that made sense of riding in a thunderstorm.

+1 to this. It seemed in my face coming into town this morning and no doubt i will push into it on the way home. Re that satellite image from yesterday, if you expanded the size of the map that front was massive, easly stretching diagonally across the state.

I left work at 6 and it was done, just a wet bum from the back wheel and a dirty bike

Didn't even have to dry my shoes.

I did the same - only a little rain that didn't bother me one bit. Still I won't start riding in thunder and lightning - that much electricty does worry me. (silly maybe but some thunder storms around Sydney come with complementary fist sized hail)

It would be wrong of me to point out that on most days with an overnight low of 10 I am riding in shorts and short sleeves, no gloves.

I did go out for a ride this afternoon, but turned around after about 3km and went back home when it started raining. The wind wasn't nice either.

For those commuting through Rhodes to SOP and environs, the waterside bike path is now open from the Meadowbank Bridge all the way to SOP, bypassing the building work and traffic through the Rhodes shopping centre completely. Makes for a very pleasant run alongside the picturesque (and unfortunately polluted) Homebush Bay.
