You're all Grrrreat Beeg Naaarrrncies!

I rode in the rain yesterday. Dropped my noob arse (noob knee actually) onto the tar for my troubles too All up a shoddy day's worth of cycling as I took off 5 mins after eating breakfast and was running on empty from the word go. Ouchies not withstanding, the ride home was actually a good deal more enjoyable, even though it was on the homeward leg that I got rained on. All part of the learning experience, innit? At least I didn't break up the bike

So all that blue sky you are looking at right now is actually
making you very wet! You just havent caught on yet

Radar Images, actaully it's the pink bits you've got to look out for,

Trust a grrl to worry about the pink bits.

the topic at hand, Melbourne weather is not as wet as some may think
Actually I think people would hope for that much rain particularly wit
the catchments at 48% capacity. So BRING IT ON! The more rain th
better...especially for those muddied up downhill trails. ;

Actually I'm originally from Hobart. Rain is that stuff that hits har
horizonally. Or piddles around the Wellington Ranges all day

Melbourne, huh? In reality, just a southern extension of the Littl
Desert. Don't even get a real frost here

Sorry, I meant 'lives in', not 'is from'. :cool

I can't imagine what Tassie would be like in winter... I struggle as i
to get through Melbourne winters; I have such poor circulation that it'
a case of chillblains from June till October. So you can keep you
'real frost', thankyou, if only so I can keep my fingers. ;

No, just me. (and only with 'cold', not 'wet'. See, I'm HARDCORE,
ride in the rain with gusto and glee. And that is a combination of word
we don't see often enough.) ;

Well who's the silly soggy moggy tonight then?! ME! Went to find th
dirt crits, got lost, found another two riders, they were lost too, go
more lost, soaked through now, asked directions, found race, "Olli
raced, I found a stack of excuses and watched instead, afte
presentation of 1st series prizes, Doug and I left (in the freezing col
rainy stuff...), followed him too far but eventually made it to a nic
train station.. SOAKED! and scaring 'normal' people I'm sure, rode th
last 6k home.. withOUT rain

Anyway, looked like people had a blast at the crits so I'll have to g
back and MEAN IT next time.. need another singlespeed so I don't have t
swap tyres all the time.. need to dig out my Vistalite helmet moun
too.. and some clothe that don't soak through and stay sopping.. and
way to warm beer but still have it taste nice.. I'll call it: 'ardcor
Warmbutnicebrew (sounds German so it'll sell grouse to all th
yuppies...

hipp
- Of course, the only reason it rained is because I bought a mudguar
the other day... and left it on the OTHER bike!! :
