The days are roaring by even in this time of the Corona virus lockdowns and restrictions. It will be first day of the eighth month of the year. We’ve had several freezing and frosty morning lately and Saturday will be the same with a sunny forecast later in the day.

8am start from Darnum. Please have your lights on as it will be foggy.

Forecast for patchy fog and areas of frost in the morning, mostly about the ranges. Sunny later in the afternoon. Light winds becoming northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h in the morning. Overnight temperatures falling to between zero and 4 with daytime temperatures reaching between 12 and 18.

Red skies this evening so it promised to be a  clear day tomorrow albeit it will be freezing, This is supported by the BOM forecast for tomorrow. The Corona virus second wave is a bit worrying but at least we in Baw Baw are pretty isolated with only 5 detected infections. Please be mindful of social distancing especially during our after ride coffee session.

It’s the last Saturday of July so our start venue will be Yarragon where we will set off at 8am. It’s going to be freezing and foggy so rug up for the rise and please have your lights on for safety.

It will become cloudy tomorrow with areas of fog and frost in the morning. The chance of fog at night. Light winds. Overnight temperatures falling to between minus 1 and 3 above zero with daytime temperatures reaching between 11 and 14.

The Covid19’s soaring infections (428 record cases today) is not we want to see. This may, or if it continues to be this high, give rise to tougher restrictions. Let’s hope this will not eventuate.

In the meantime we will be riding from Darnum as usual leaving at 8am. It is forecast to be freezing tomorrow so rug up appropriately. It will also be foggy so please have your lights on too.

It will be mostly sunny tomorrow with areas of fog and frost in the morning. Light winds becoming northerly 15 to 25 km/h in the morning. Overnight temperatures falling to between minus 1 and 2 above zero with daytime temperatures reaching between 9 and 14.

Social distancing notice

It has been noticed by several from the general public that many cycling groups ours included, mainly after rides, have not been social distancing properly. It has been brought to my notice photographs of our after ride coffee sessions have been taken and passed around. This is not the example our cycling community would like to set. We need to be seen to be doing the right thing.

It is understood the Police could be involved should our social distancing behaviour does not improve, so please be very mindful and keep our distance of 1.5m when off our bikes especially during our after ride coffee and chin wags sessions. Your cooperation will be appreciated.

Hmm… the second Covid19 wave is increasing dramatically but thankfully we in Baw Baw Shire has been spared from any recent infections. Lets hope there will not be any infections here.

Forecast for tomorrow’s weather has been changed slightly to a foggy morning with rains later in the afternoon. So it a ride from Darnum setting off at 8am.

It will be cloudy tomorrow with patchy morning fog. Very high (90%) chance of showers, most likely in the afternoon and evening. Snow level around 1600 metres in the morning lowering to 1400 metres at night. The chance of a thunderstorm, with possible small hail in the afternoon and evening. Light winds. Overnight temperatures falling to around 5 with daytime temperatures reaching between 9 and 14.

Not too sure what the weather will really be like tomorrow as the forecast suggests a foggy start with rain later in the morning. We might still ride so long as it is not raining at the start. This would mean we need to rug up appropriately. Apart from this have your batteries charged and light on for the ride.

BOM forecasts a patchy morning fog in the west. It will be cloudy with a high (80%) chance of showers, most likely from the late morning. Snow falling above 900 metres, rising to 1500 metres during the day. Possible hail in the early morning. Winds west to northwesterly 15 to 25 km/h increasing to 25 to 35 km/h in the morning then tending west to southwesterly 15 to 25 km/h in the afternoon. Overnight temperatures falling to between 1 and 4 with daytime temperatures reaching between 8 and 13.
