Okay Aussie girls. While our Northern Hemispherian friends are battling the cold weather slump... I'm finding myself unable to ride because of the title of this thread!!!

IT'S TO HOT!

You've either got to have finished up by 7am or start riding after 5:30pm in order not to show up looking all red and puffy and sweaty.

Considering two weeks ago we had that unseasonable COLD weather rip through... NOW we're well and truely IN SUMMER up here in QLD... The humidity, the haze, the "I can't sleep because the sheets are stuck to my back" kind of nighttime heat.

So this is my first summer of riding. how do you girls keep it cool here?

LOL - I was talking to my sister-in-law last night she lives in Brisbane and she was telling me that it was super hot. Now this girl just loooooves the heat (unlike this little duck who hates super hot weather) and even she said it felt like she was going to burst into flames. You have my sympathy - Aussie Summers can be a killer. Thats why I want to live in Tassie - up north is just too hot for me.

It's 32 degrees C in Sydney at the moment. *swelter, swelter* I'm about this colour when I get to work -- -- but my facial expression is usually more like

Yep 32 in Sydney always seems so much hotter than in other places I think maybe its the humidity.
We lived on the South Coast before we came to the USA and I think it was the humidity that did me in there. I sure did like those big electrical storms though, never have seen such amazing lightning shows before or since.

so if a person lived to the farthest south of Australia, the weather wouldn't be too hot?

It still can get hot but most of the time it is cooler down in Tasmania.

I hear you light sabre r!!

It is STINKING hot here today....and humid too.

I am trying hard not to complain too much because it is still only November and it is a long , long time till we get the blankets out again.

In answer to your question re bike riding....sh.....I must confess, I have been hitting the airconditioned gym, and using the treadmill right in front of a huge fan, and taking off as many clothes as decently possible. It is not a glamorous look! Alternately, I have been repeating the above exercise except in a Spin class.

Good luck for your next triathlon. Can't wait to hear a race report.
