    Yay for the extension of Daylight Saving!

    Is'nt it great that we now have more hours in the day to enjoy this beautiful weather?!?!

    I know I was stoked to have a bit of light at 6am this morning while I was out moving my bike to a "safer place" and covering it from the rain. Oh yeah, its also a good time to put your bike on its race stand in extreme winds (doh!) and lube the shit outta your chain so it doesnt rust before the next race..... What I dont reccommend is doing all this in your pyjamas.

    Yay for Daylight Savings!!

    If we didn't have day light saving - then you would have had even more light at 6.00am....it would be that light at 5.00am.

    Actually.... Before my bike blew up I used to leave home anywhere between 5.30 and 6am. It was never light at that time in the months or so leading up to daylight saving....

    But I get what you're saying....

    Yes - it's great to have more light to appreciate the rain...

    im really happy you like daylight saving
    it sucks big time
    all it does is make those who have out door jobs work a little more a little longer .
    oh and while its still light how about we do this before you go home .
    but on the other had you dont have to get to work early do you .......
    so the employer wins and the govt wins, how you ask ! . well imagine how much more tax is generated by " daylight saving"
    It gets more daylight anyways . dont you get it ?

    Sorry for my 2 cents
