Oohhhh dear, fri sat & sunday were crazy crazy hot & humid here in Perth. http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDW60...01.94609.shtml The tropical cyclone was thankfully downgraded to a tropical depression then just zilch. It "rained" a bit but the ground's so dry that you can't tell anything happened.

Friday morning, I set out at 530am on a short ride. The ride became a bit shorter though when i left the city for my jaunt home. I think by about 830am it was 35C & horribly humid. I barely had enough water & wished i'd filled my other water bottle so i could pour it over me. Even then it wouldn't have helped. When i got home n tried to take my jersey off, it was stuck to me w the sweat.

Saturday, group ride & thankfully we went near the coast.

Sunday, i joined a group of folks on a dirt ride & oh boy was it a struggle. With this ex tropical depression/cyclone thing that was supposed to hit us, no one knew exactly what the weather would be like. It turned out to be a freakin hot & humiday day. Our ride was not near much shade and often uphill. I drank 3l of water & that still wasn't enough. The last 10km were a horrible slog. About 5km from the end, it came to the point where i just couldn't wear a helmet anymore. I felt guilty taking it off but even with the good venting system, i was struggling. Good thing the last section of our ride is on a very very flat area...

The humidty drove me nuts over the weekend our evap air con does diddly squat when it's humid..
