Meanwhile working in roof cavities![]()
Bloody 57 degrees yesterday!
Luckily I only spend between 10-40 minutes in that heat at a time, and I can wear shorts and tshirt.
Near Canberra though Doug you get to make up for it when winter comes and its colder than Wellington lol. I presume you're not missing us or NZ?
Cheers

The tarsnakes... THAT is a different matter entirely...

Some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them.
You could always try this:

Short story: guy pulled over by cop for riding is scooter with his pants around his ankles and his reason was "he was cooling them off"... Cop was desperate to un-see the image of this guy's big white backside!
Have seen them advertised at Cycletreads (I think), but not seen in the flesh; a "foam" type garment that just covers the shoulder area that you soak in water (then dry off) and your heat evaporates the water making you cooler. Supposedly does not drip water or leave a mark.
Anyone got one or tried it? Lots of options for this sort of thing in the US market, but in NZ our options are pretty limited.

I have working aircon, use it all the time. Never open windows anymore after paying a small fortune to fix electric window motor!!!
It did breakdown on another car I had and never fixed it though, can get expensive. VTNZ guy went mental when he saw the mangled belt lol...
As for keeping cool on bike, stop obeying the speed limit lol... might be prob in city traffic though.
Are you keeping hydrated, having a cool drink of water before you hit the road?
