Hadja midwinter roide yet eh?

[slofox]

Winter Solstice, shortest day, longest night yaddayadda...it's upon us anyway. From now on the days will get longer - well, until December anyway...

So have you celebrated the return of the sun with a mid-winter ride yet? Or have you just lard-arsed around the house eating pies and gargling the booze?

If it's the latter, git yr arse out there and dust off the cobwebs - cold air is bracing (so I'm told).

And yes, I did my bit this morning despite wet roads and loony traffic. Pretty bloody tame though I'd hafta say...and fairly short too. C'mon summer...

I midwinter ride every single day. Love it.

Nothing better than crisp, cold morning traffic light GPs with the Evos and XR6 Falcons on my 15km commute.

Ya see and hear some fucken funny things too.

Like the other morning, I passed three cyclists just before the Haywards lights heading south. Lights are red and I'm first in the que in the left lane. Traffic from Haywards is turning onto river road on their green light, two lanes of em. Two of the cyslists blast straight through the red on the breakdown lane, not looking or slowing down. Third cyclist stops next to me. I pop the visor and ask "What's up with those guys?"

His reply "They're fuckwits! No need for that sort of shit in busy traffic." I lolzd.

I am very concerned that it won't be cold enough rain should be a certainty but I'm sure the punters will feel ripped off if we don't get some frost, sleet & snow also.

[Oakie]

[The Singing Chef]

Yep did 200k's today :-D and what a cracker of a ride that was!! Woo Hoo. man i can not wait for Summer!

- cold air is bracing (so I'm told).

Chance would be a fine thing. We are yet to get "cold" up here. Maybe a few times of hurty fingers after my commute, fitted heated grips and broke out in hot sweats using them

Will be on the road at 7:15am tomorrow as usual
