Sydney weather this morning!!!

[recumbenteer]

Went out this morning on another errand and while warm and humid it was OK, Glad I did it in the morning as the heavens just opened and the heavy rain was sideways! Bet the velomobile would have been sideways too given our 4 storey high gumtree was seriously considering non-vertical directions.

did someone say it was raining?

I just wind the windows up


Getting sideways, it's called "drifting"... I hear it's a popular thing for "Emotional Support Vehicle" drivers

Seems to be storming outside at the moment- radar also looks bad.

Not confident it’s going to clear.

Got 1 hour ride in with just some light rain in the last couple of kilometres to home.

It's pouring again so I didn't bother going outside, 1 hour is hardly worth it for a messy bike and dealing with slippery conditions.

I don't like indoor cycling on weekends though.

Been off the bike for 5 days with back muscle problem so 1 hour taking it easy was all I wanted. Roads here were OK for riding. It has been raining consistently since I got back.

Hope all is okay with the back. I've also had a few issues with that - getting old is annoying!

Thanks. It always my right Quadratus Lumborum that spasms and tightens up. Been to physio twice already and will go again on Monday. Doing the stretches again (that I really should do all the time) which helps. Plus using TENS machine which also helps.
Yes, getting old is annoying but the alternative is worse.

A now retired work colleague used to say that. A good way to look at it

Hope your back comes good!

39ºC max temperature recorded today.

Planned to ride early this morning, but that plan went astray - was already 32 ℃ by the time I made it to work. Going to be a tough ride home

Indeed it will be - for me I'll have a 20kph headwind on the way home as well as the temperature.

I was out in the heat today, not actually riding a bike though. It was very very hot.

[zebee]

Out today for a couple of short rides. Hot but OK unless I was stopped when the heat radiating off the road was a killer.

Topped near 30 as I got home at 10:30am. It was 18C at 6:30am so nobody was too surprised and everyone had plenty of water and such.
