    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.

    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.

    i'll trade you! i prefer the heat to the cool..... low 90's (f) is PERFECT weather for me! 60's is cool.... 50's is downright cold.... and 40's.... BRRRRRRR

    but then.... the majority of spring/summer/fall months the temps here are over 100... with plenty of 110+ and even 120+ days (i set out to ride several 128 degree days this past summer!)
