Heat Wave and bikes !

    Canberra is having one of its hottest Christmases I can remember.  Having a week of mid 30 degrees C makes for less options of going out and entertaining one's self. Though the forecast this morning was for another 35 C,  the day dawned a bit overcast so I leapt at the chance for a blat in the country-side.
    The plan was fuel up, and do what is becoming a quite common ride, heading up the back roads to Sutton, Gundaroo and Gunning.  From Gunning to Crookwell  then I thought I would head toward Taralga before heading to Goulburn and home.  Good plan.  I love the road between Gunning and Crookwell but I now understand why Crookwell is home to such a large wind farm.  Around Crookwell, the temperature began to soar and the wind became very strong and gusty.  That put paid to exploring the district so I headed straight for Goulburn, again, on a glorious motorcycle suited road.  Due to the deteriorating conditions, I free-wayed it back to Canberra though by the side of lake George, the temperature dropped to 28 degrees.  Lake George was looking surprisingly green but I didn't stop for a photo due to other considerations (oh, okay, my bladder).  277 quality kilometres.

Making the most of a pearler of a day

Slightly later work  start today and it was a magnificent day.  So rather than stare at a computer monitor, I started with a really nice walk around the lake including going up and down ANZAC Parade.  There were lots of cute puppies being walked as well.  Home for lunch, tried on my new motorcycle gang T-Shirt (we are sooooooo tough) and thought I won't get a chance to ride next week - so lets go for a mini blat.  Off to refuel at COSTCO, then up the country roads to Sutton, Gundaroo and Gunning.  Then a slightly less enjoyable freeway blast to Yass Valley Way then home via the Barton highway.  Lovely ride though it gets a bit hot under the jacket.  Now, time for a shower, dinner and then off to put the Pollies to bed.
