Finally the weather cleared enough to get out for a ride. BT, with his new Ti steed, joined me for an outdoor ride. The weather wasn't great, and there were a lot of storms around, so we intended to stay in Centennial Park close to home in case the weather turned bad. Well indeed it did. After a few intemittent showers dampened our enthusiasm slightly, the wind really kicked in. At one stage it felled a couple of the big fig trees in the park and the gusts were so bad I thought BT was going to come off. Suffice to say we exited the Park after only notching up 64km. Disappointing, but at least we got out for a change.
BT and the new BTi steed. Here he is saying he only needs 2 hands to lift this one.
My trusty steed.Come Sunday, the weather had really taken a turn for the worse. Gale force winds meant no outdoor riding once again, so it was back into the House of Pain. This time I stuck it out for a 90 minute session.

The last of the Movember shots. Come Monday, this will be going, going, GONE!Saturday, 29 November 2008.
Weather wasn't great with a lot of rain about, so I spent the best part of the day at work. By the time I got home, I prepared to go for a ride in the Park, but storms started rolling in again. Another 90 minute trainer session insued. Funny, thing actually. A lot of people driving or walking past had a laugh at me on the trainer (including one very, very cute lady - I'll have to find out who she is). They weren't laughing so much when the storm hit 30 minutes into the session and dropped close to 10mm rain in less than 10 minutes. Very heavy.

Another day helping my brother with his plumbing at the new house. Finished earlier this week, and got a 65km ride in the Park in the late afternoon. Felt good being out on the "road" even if it was car free day in Centennial. Still very windy in Sydney, and the weather forecast is for rain again next weekend. It could just be one of those summers....
