Okay so who's a sooky lala?
I am.
I don't mind posts about who went out the longest in the worst weather with the least clothing ('me' damn you!) but I thought "bugger it" tonight. The last few days have seen me come too close to quite a few large, stupid, metal objects (cars) through no fault of my own. It seems the warm days cause drivers to switch off their brains. How many panic stops and crazy swerves do I need to do in two days?! Well I just couldn't be arsed taking chances tonight, what with warmed brains AND slippery roads? Caught the train. Thanks. Done. Good night. hippy |

Rode home in It. Was splashed by several cars by sprays of It. Got hom and realised quite a bit of It had seeped into my shoes, associate bike clothing & possibly the crumpler. God bless SKS guards, kept eve more of It away from the serfas saddle...left bike outside for awhile two big muddy puddles of It on veranda, drying out slowly -- cfsmtb |

Good night. hippy I hope that when you got home you went to the fridge and grabbed yourself a couple of cans of Harden Up. I rode home in knicks and jersey in the pouring rain and I was so glad that I took off the rear "backscratcher" mudguard earlier in the week due to the good weather. Got absolutely soaked (at least it wasn't cold) and then had to spend half an hour or so washing all the road crud from my bike, oiling cables, and lubing chain ready for ATB on Sunday.......think I am gonna stick to the SS MTB for the rest of the week. Ride On, Gags |

Sure, I rode home in knicks and short sleeves on a bare road bike (ie. no guards or nuffin'), but then I didn't clean it... It dried off in the garage and is now inside slowly oxidising. Weekend job, I suppose... |

I was all set to go, even had sun block on 'cause I didn't check the weather when I got up. Unfortunately, or so I thought at the time, valve went on rear inner tube when I pumped it up. Riding in with no spare didn't appeal so got the train. Turns out that was a good thing :-) -- Cheers Euan |

Good night. hippy It was a trifle wet. I don't know whether there's extra grit on the roads in the outer 'burbs, but despite the mudguards, after the commute home (Knox City to Oakleigh for those who care) the raw amount of dirt and general road crap on my backpack and arse was remarkable. The bike is still filthy, and I rode in again this morning. I'm a baaaaaaaaaad bike owner. |

Man, I literally had a "pile" of dirt in my bath, just from squeezing out the sprayed-up road grit from a wet ride a while back. I always thought it was the water that made arm warmers/leg warmers heavy, now I think it's the kilo of dirt embedded in them! ;-) hippy |
