I think summer's back. This isn't necessarily a bad thingbut I wasn't expecting warmer temps all of a sudden! Perth had a really wet "winter" and started to give up on warmer weather. I thought i'd never get away from the rain clouds...
Well, I can taste summer and am fully aware of the possible summer temps.
*sigh*
I'm envious of you. I began a week's vacation yesterday just in time to enjoy a winter preview here in the mid-Atlantic US-- Chilly, almost continuous rain, and a mix of rain and snow where I'm headed tomorrow.
So much for seven days of cycling through colorful autumn leaves![]()

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Random babblings and some stuff to look at.
Gotta still go, I have a non-refundable hotel reservation. At this point, I'm planning on a hiking vacation instead of a cycling vacation. That's what I used to do way back when I first began my annual trips out thataways, so this'll be like re-visiting the past.
And, yeah, hiking in the rain isn't bad. Unless it's also below 40 degrees fahrenheit, which is what's forecast for Sunday. Monday and Tuesday are on the fence with temps in the 50's, so I may make an impulsive last-minute decision tomorrow morning and throw the bike in the trunk (gently, of course).

I like hiking in a light rain and hope to still salvage something out of this weekend.

Looks like Saturday should have some dry spells. hopefully.
I tend to overheat if I'm doing strenuous hiking - so the temp doesn't bug me too much. Okay, I overheat if I'm doing anything strenuous.
Last time I did old rag it was 20 degrees, and I was stripped down to my sports bra and had my pants hiked up to my knees.
Luckily it was evening and not many people got assaulted with that view.
Through the bike in the trunk - gently, just in case.
AGH...yep, it's summer...The sand flies are back![]()
Keeping above fly speed is now required when cycling....![]()
