[MillieNZ]

it seems spring has arrived........ Clocks go forward this weekend in NZ.......... ya, more cycling time in the evening ( as long as the weather plays nicely )

AND no rain forcast for Auckland for the next two days....... of course the rain will be back for the weekend, but I'm happy to take the next two days rain free...........

Got my goals set out ready to go

doesn't spring just make you feel ssooooooo good

Wouldn't know it in Chch this week. Still, there's a bit of blue stuff showing today at least.

I love spring, fills me full of energy and motivation! It's beautiful weather in central nsw, and even though we desperately need the rain, I love it! May as well enjoy the beautiful weather eh? the only other option is to get depressed about the lack of rain, which solves nothing!

I'm new to this site so hi to all the aussies. I'm also new to road riding and my goal is to do triathlon. Haven't done one yet, but will be sometime this year.

hey crazycanuck, i'm in central west nsw, not far from bathurst where they do the big car races... about 3 hours west of sydney.

i don't think we change our clocks till the end of october, but i think they want to change it next year to start of october, which i don't really like cause i have to get up early and i prefer getting up in the light!

[crazycanuck]

Ohhh..Bathurst!!! I'm not a car racing fan but i do know about the mighty bathurst.

Is the area you're in badly affected by the drought??

yeah, it's pretty bad, not as bad as further west though. we used to get really good rain here, but now it's hardly enough to notice the difference between the seasons. we've had enough to get some spring grass growing but if we don't get some more very soon it'll all die off and that will be the end of the growing the season. how about in perth, what's it like there?
