Early on it is still very, very cold. I've seen 5ºC or less indicated on my watch.familyguy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2023 9:52 amCommuted yesterday and today, cool but not cold starts. Long gloves, jacket, no leg warmers. Maybe if I was leaving at 6:30, not 8:15 it would be different. A guy up the road rolled home as I left this morning in shorts and arm warmers and he was head to toe rugged up, must have been out real early!
Coming home is trickier at the moment. Don't really need the morning jacket, but don't want to bring two...so just got very sweaty going home last night.

Some areas were still flooded from the rain yesterday. For the temps, I'm used to riding in 40ºC recently so going back to 5-7ºC mornings is not nice.

I saw 4.2ºC indicated temperature so didn't bother going outside at all. Given I have a bit of a cold at the moment there is no point getting worse.

I wasn't riding but in the east today and the smoke had drifted that way too.am50em wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2023 12:14 pmSmoky! Rode out on Somerville Rd thinking about descending down to Crosslands but very smoky at the top from the hazard reduction just over the creek. The climb back is hard enough so given the conditions gave it a miss. Then out to Bobbin Head which was also a but smoky from the burn further east. Still good to be out riding.

I didn't avoid it, but fortunately where I was it was only heavy rain and no hail. I looked on the radar and thought I'd make it home before the storm but ended up with 7-8kms of riding into the thick of it. At least the rain meant the shared paths were devoid of dog walkers and pedestrians

No such problems for me, I was already well tanned from August. Plenty of 40ºC+ every day in the mountains.
I went at 6:45am this morning - didn't find it particularly hot, it was quite comfortable weather. What wasn't so nice was the very close encounter with a juvenile brown snake... The little guy appeared to be like a small stick - only when I got close did I see what it really was and the thing got quite cranky. Lucky I was going fast downhill.
I've never seen a young brown snake before, they are quite small.

A large brown snake obviously agreed, parking itself right across the middle of the path on a turn - I spotted it in plenty of time and did some riding off through the grass with the Cervelo S5. The snake kept watch but otherwise didn't seem worried.

It started bucketing down as I left my mother's care home.
15 mins of wild storm including lightning strikes ranging from 5 secs between light and noise to damn near simultaneous. Raun so heavy I could barely see. Glad it was the E trike with the bright headlight and taillight plus rear flashing light.
Get home, get trike in garage... and it stops!
What have I done to anger the weather gods that much? I even used mesh gloves when riding the motorcycle on the weekend so as not to be in full waterproofs!

When I used to commute I'd watch the radar and try to make it home in a gap, Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't. Not that it mattered much as a warm shower was always to be had when home. The only annoyance was drying the shoes.
