It's back..a weather observation

[crazycanuck]

I think summer's back. This isn't necessarily a bad thing :rolleyes: but I wasn't expecting warmer temps all of a sudden! Perth had a really wet "winter" and started to give up on warmer weather. I thought i'd never get away from the rain clouds...

Well, I can taste summer and am fully aware of the possible summer temps.

*sigh*

Yep I wish we could ease into summer and not jump from cool to hot in a matter of days. :eek:

I'm envious of you. I began a week's vacation yesterday just in time to enjoy a winter preview here in the mid-Atlantic US-- Chilly, almost continuous rain, and a mix of rain and snow where I'm headed tomorrow.

So much for seven days of cycling through colorful autumn leaves :rolleyes: :(

Are you actually going? Hopefully it clears out on Monday for you to have a few days.

Hiking in the rain isn't that bad.

Gotta still go, I have a non-refundable hotel reservation. At this point, I'm planning on a hiking vacation instead of a cycling vacation. That's what I used to do way back when I first began my annual trips out thataways, so this'll be like re-visiting the past.

And, yeah, hiking in the rain isn't bad. Unless it's also below 40 degrees fahrenheit, which is what's forecast for Sunday. Monday and Tuesday are on the fence with temps in the 50's, so I may make an impulsive last-minute decision tomorrow morning and throw the bike in the trunk (gently, of course).

I like hiking in a light rain and hope to still salvage something out of this weekend.
I wanted to in get some leaf color shooting

Looks like Saturday should have some dry spells. hopefully.

I tend to overheat if I'm doing strenuous hiking - so the temp doesn't bug me too much. Okay, I overheat if I'm doing anything strenuous.

Last time I did old rag it was 20 degrees, and I was stripped down to my sports bra and had my pants hiked up to my knees.

Luckily it was evening and not many people got assaulted with that view.

Through the bike in the trunk - gently, just in case.

Keeping above fly speed is now required when cycling....:rolleyes:
