It is the last Saturday ride before Christmas. No rain is forecast however it is predicted to be hot with high UV levels. This being the case and to avoid the heat of the the morning the ride is to start half an hour earlier at 7:30am.

Hot and mostly sunny. Slight (20%) chance of a shower about the inland ranges in the afternoon. Winds northwesterly 35 to 50 km/h tending northerly 25 to 35 km/h in the evening. Overnight temperatures falling to between 16 and 23 with daytime temperatures reaching 34 to 40.

Believe it or not it’s less than two weeks away from the big day – Christmas. Darnum is the venue for an 8am start. The weather will be touch and go but with a  half glass full attitude tomorrow morning’s ride will be ok weather wise.

For those wanting to know more about the weather tomorrow – It is slated to be cloudy. Medium (50%) chance of showers in the west, slight (20%) chance elsewhere. Winds west to southwesterly 25 to 35 km/h becoming light in the evening. Overnight temperatures falling to between 4 and 8 with daytime temperatures reaching between 15 and 19.
