I've dug the tarp pancho out of the cupboard. It may be one of those occasional times when I sleep in and take the train most of the way.
I will still have 7kms to ride. That and the same in the afternoon should be enough to justify my daily coffee and muffin at Sassys still.

This morning was not that strong weatherwise so I expect that the tide was the push that it needed.
It's quite a challenge with a pancho on a unicycle and I actually quite like the challenge occasionally. Just for the hell of it. And surprising how many others have to go thru it with me.
However, as my arvo ride currently doesn't take me along Como. Sth Perth I may not have the pleasure of being bucketed by the river this year. Pity.

On a day like today, if it doesn't feel like you're riding into the wind, or that there is any wind at all, then it's probably at your back =D
I dropped 10% average trip speed with just the westerly vector at 35-40kph with some big gusts. Any improved rolling resistance would have aided the wind pushing me backwards =P
I was grinning maniacally riding at a crawl into it on riverside drive while oncoming riders were flying with it at their back.

One day I most work out why my phone doesn't automatically rotate pictures when using NeatStreet.
Both cleared up on return trip in the evening.

I'll have to give the neatstreets workflow a test.
Glorious sunshine on the way in I needed sunnies and strip off the arm/leg warmers halfway. Wind is like a drug, glorious highs and amplified lows, got it at the back again this morning for the twisty section of Riverside Drive gave great speed and change of directions like being at speed on a motorcycle through the hills again... but a crawl heading into it last night not miserable but humble futility.

Far out, it was cold. Never been so happy to see a Dome and a hot coffee in my life.
Beautiful riding home though.
