You weren't kidding! Riding home at 4:30pm was the hottest I can remember ever riding in... The wind felt like a blast furnace.Dimma wrote:I think the real heat will be for the commuters on their way home.

I abandoned the event after about 60 km because of the heat.
I got picked up by a support vehicle with an outside thermometer indicating 41 degrees.
He dropped us off at the rest stop caus he had to go out and rescue other cyclists.
In the shade it didn't feel so bad so i got back on and completed the event, but that was a mistake.
There were some cyclists whose 10-speed chains were snapping on the road, possibly related to the extreme heat

Today - humid and hot, yesterday hot and humid.
There have been the occasional storm, fortunately not violent (thankfully, touching wood)
Everything looks green around northern NSW but the humidity is extreme and the beaches are sizzling. Prob much the same as Gold Coast but less traffic here.

It would appear that Brisbane environs has been spared the heat extremes that have affected most of the rest of Australia recently.
And this morning there was enough rain to persuade me to have a sleep in.

I thought my neighbour's roof was ripping off yesterday but it was his two very big trees. I told him to move his car in front of my house and then another massive tree crashed down where his car had been. It's nuts but at least everyone seems safe.
I was hoping I could go riding tomorrow but it doesn't look as though it will be possible until Wednesday or even Thursday at least.
I guess we needed the rain. My empty rain water tank filled overnight.

+1, go to Coottha instead.clydesmcdale wrote:If the floods get up to where they're predicting, much of the river loop will be out of action for a while. Guilty even thinking that way, considering some residents and businesses may be inundated.
I wish that the wind would die down...I'm prepared to get wet but not blown off my bike!

so what's the verdict for tomorrow for coro drive?pentlandexile wrote:I rode to work this morning at about 4.30, not the smartest thing i've ever done, lots of wind and rain and fallen foliage. River was starting to come up over parts of the Coro Drive path when I headed back this lunchtime.
