Severe Weather Warning 1
Postby Parker » Mon Sep 03, 2012 4:18 pm
so, what's the go? I ride from Kewdale, go through Northbridge and up the mitchell free way, hang a left at Stirling... maybe I wont ride, I think buckets just feel out of the sky...
Thoughts?

Ha! I wish I was doing the return leg... I am doing the 100mile challenge on strava, so I'll be sure to run south this evening (and ignore the fact that I'll have to turn around at some point)Pushy wrote:You'll have fun, remember when you were little, you were told not to play in the rain? Well, now you can. And if youre doing a round trip, the return leg will be a hoot.

Used to ride this path every day, whatever the conditions. Plenty of times in winter would get to work with the riverward side of me wet and covered in sand grit, the freeway side dry. Enjoy.

I took the bus... hey MOOOOO! Coffee or booze? Which would be best for you this weekend (are you actually free/available?).moosterbounce wrote:While I was sitting in a warm car (I had to collect a hundred kgs of dog biscuits, otherwise I was planning on commuting for the second time this year - honest ) it was pelting down around Joondalup way. Still is. I hope Parker didn't wait for a gap in the rain - she'd still be at work!!

So basically, the best commute ever, and it's going to make my usual afternoon slog into the Doctor seem all that much worse.
