Rude shock in Perth.

[DeF]

Went out for my mid-week ride this morning and
found it to be bloody cold! I had long sleeves
and knee-warmers on. The nightly minimum has
dropped by 10 degrees in 3 days after months
of balmy mornings.

I've just glad that daylight saving has ended
so it wasn't pitch black as well.

I don't like winter - you get either cold or
rain and sometimes both. Yuk.

Well, I agree with the sleeping better sentiment. My problem
is that we didn't get a chance to get used to the cold. 6deg min last
night. The flip side of nice long summer is a rapid descent into
winter!

I just can't get over the fact that about 2 weeks ago we were
contending with 43C rides home..

I had to pull out the light armwarmers in Brissie. It got near 17.
Even put the winter jammies and cover on. Brrrrr.

Winter jammies with the arm warmers on the bike?

Not a good look
