29 July 2023 Ride

Last Saturday of July and there last on this half of the calendar year. Ride the Westbury loop from Yarragon setting off at 8am. It will be a cool start with light winds so dress appropriately. Hopefully we will see more of you on this ride as the recent cooler and wet weather has kept several of us preferring their dooner rather than fronting up.

It will be mostly sunny with a slight chance of a shower about the ranges, near zero chance elsewhere. Winds northwesterly 15 to 25 km/h. Overnight temperatures falling to between 4 and 9 with daytime temperatures reaching between 12 and 19.

22 July 2023 Ride

Cool to cold day, very little change of rain tomorrow with a little fog, so come rugged up appropriately. 8am street from Darnum.

Ian won’t be riding as he has has a procedure on his back to stem the depilating pain in his left knee, but will be over for coffee after your ride.

Saturday if forecast to b partly cloudy with patches of morning frost about the ranges. Medium chance of showers near Wilsons Promontory, most likely in the early morning. Near zero chance of rain elsewhere. Winds northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h becoming light in the morning then becoming west to northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h in the middle of the day. Overnight temperatures falling to between zero and 6 with daytime temperatures reaching between 10 and 15.

15 July 2023 Ride

We have had quite acceptable weather over the last few days considering we are in the midst of winter. Hopefully it will continue tomorrow all best being cold and a little windy for our ride starting from Darnum at 8am.

Ian has succumbed and gone over to the e-bike side. Why e-bike? A niggling back issue not previously diagnose as osteoarthritis prohibits riding on an analog bike aka usual bike. An e-bike enables riding without further causing too many physical issues – at least for the time being.

Forecast to be cloudy tomorrow with high chance of showers in the west, medium chance elsewhere. Snow falling above 1300 metres. Winds west to northwesterly 25 to 35 km/h tending west to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h in the early afternoon then tending west to northwesterly in the evening. Overnight temperatures falling to between 4 and 9 with daytime temperatures reaching between 10 and 15.
