I'm still up for it, although might want to adjust the distance
depending on the weather (and whether I'm likely to have a heart attack
now that I remember what the hills are like out that way). I'll be up
around 6:30 and as long as the weather is just for showers I'll be
riding. If the weather is a disaster, eg. patches of pink or red on the
radar loop, I'll drop a message here if I want out.

wish i were as wise as you;

"Wont be that bad!" Im convincing myself. House full of snivelling
coughing people. must bail. Besides that's a thumpin North-westerly
BOM says..

Sure enough, cruising down to Mordy with a very nice (if no
wild/squally) tailwind. Gee, aint ridin a bike grand:

Oh wait. wind has suddenly swung around to a howling Westerly. fightin
to keep bike upright. grovelling along at about 22kph. partial respit
thru Olivers Hill/Mt Eliza then coming down hill on Sth side to Freewa
crossover the wind is so strong Im crawling DOWNHILL at 25kph when
would normally do 60kph down he mad: that stretch west to bottom o
whites rd was simply the WORST cycling experience EVER!!! if i had ha
deep section wheels on i would have taken off. actually had the weir
feeling of a tailwind going uphill. Nothing like that hot shower t
reacquaint with one's toes and stop the nose dripping. Red wine and ope
fireplace never felt sooooo goooood:

This morning in comparison was just a lovely ride! met some new mornin
nomads and was introduced to a great ride. Thanks tony and Dave;

Maybe you better clarify for Tony's sake that you meant bonking in the
sporting sense and not int he shenanigans sense (just in case Tony's
girlfriend is keeping an eye on him in here). Personally I was grateful
for the bonking, otherwise you guys would have left me on the first hill
(knew I was in trouble with a heart rate of 170 5 mins into the ride).

im glad it was clarified cos up until today i thought bonking only
refered to something people do when they love eachother . you would
think that one would learn that no dinner the night before and no
breakfast can only mean one thing......nausia..... apart from that the
ride was good, cheers boys.

No ridees last night or today (or probably tomorrow)

Damn spawn have finally passed on their damn lurgy to me. Curse you, disease-spreading-education-
