10 October 2015

The showers are predicted to arrive in the afternoon. This being the case a ride in the morning would bode well for us. UV levels will be high after 9:30am so slip slop and slap.

Start in Darnum at 8am.

3 October 2015 Ride

Ten riders rode 95 kms yesterday (Grand Final Holiday). The weather was perfect for a longer ride. Ian S (the Anchor Man) did a marvellous job dealing with the challenges of this ride especially after a self imposed three months absence from rinding.

Tomorrow promises to be another perfect riding day. Darnum starting at 8am. Those who want to ride a longer course start at 7:30am for a  ride to Westbury and back for coffee.

It is slated to be sunny. Winds northwesterly 10 to 20 km/h reaching 25 to 35 km/h in the far west and on the ranges. Overnight temperatures falling to between 9 and 13 with daytime temperatures reaching 23 to 29. Another perfect day.

Grand Final Holiday Ride Friday 2 Oct 2015

The weather for Friday is slated for a perfect day for a ride. So to take advantage of this day a 60+km ride will start from Warragul (from Bike Centre) at 8:30am. The general consensus is to ride to Yarragon and back to Warragul for coffee should  Cafe Central or another other cafe is open tomorrow.

The forecast for tomorrow? Patchy fog in the early morning. Sunny day. Light winds becoming northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h in the late evening. Overnight temperatures falling to between 2 and 7 with daytime temperatures reaching 21 to 26. Perfect.
