Bike is in for service tomorrow so off to the cricket....

Yeah well it's now 3pm in Perth and the temp at my house is 42c.

it was certainly a hot one today... official top 41.3..... Had bike at work and kept moving it to keep it in shade.

How do you guys ride in that heat? Anything above 25 deg here in Tassie is too hot to go outside. IMO the best temperature range to ride in is around 18 - 24. Yesterday I rode up to the north end of the island and back (700km) and got sunburnt on the face and back of hands. It only reached 24 deg. Our heat is very dry.

rkc, I was born in Finland, lived in Brisbane for 15 years and now I'm in Tassie. The Queensland heat didn't have the same punch at 20 deg as the tassie heat, maybe it's the humidity?

My dad rode bikes in Finland but when it got below  -10 he took the car. At below -25 we didn't have to go to school but we still rugged up and played outside in the snow .

rkc, I'm just outside of Hobart.
RT, what days were you coming down on? Maybe we could hook up for a beer?

RT, 16th I'm on night shift but should be up out of bed by 3pm and back to work by 6pm. Sunday 17th is our club run, maybe you can join us. I'm with the God's Squad. If not, I'll PM my phone number. I'm just off the main highway on the way to Hobart.

we'll make it to where ever you haven't been, any direction in Tassie is a good ride
