    i'll ride in 34 late in the afternoon, but i just cant imagine it in the middle of the day!
    I went riding (mtb) last weekend in the middle of the day... well, it started in the morning but ended up pretty late!! (3.5 hour ride). We got home and my partner and I had red arms, and white hands (gloves)... and now my weird tan is even more noticeable!!!

    It was a scorcher and was terrible to ride in... The trees made a difference though - I wouldn't have been riding on the road that's for sure.

    That's funny....I went for a freezing ride last week at 23F degrees, and I came back with a red face shaped like a perfect circle where my balaclaca didn't cover...from the COLD.

    hottest day since 1968

    we had 41 degrees on fri ... hottest day in canberra since 1968! third hottest day on record.

    i am not enjoying this part of summer

    but we got a ride in this morning before it got too hot. am sitting in the office preparing for my interview tomorrow waiting for the temp to drop enough to open the windows and cool the house down

    did i really complain about winter?

    Yikes gotta love Canberra bl**dy hot in summer, freezing bl**dy cold in winter. It is great for cycling though so we will forgive it its weather. How is the water supply holding out?? Has the garden turned to dust yet??
