Finally a spot of summer here in the NSW Southern Tablelands -- 20C and clear, not much breeze. Set out on the Kona Jake and broke the chain within a few hundred metres -- the Shimano snap-off pin came out somehow (I suspect the chain plates were a bit wonky after rejoining). Came home and took the '98 Explosif instead and completed a leisurely spin on local dirt roads, enjoying the sunshine. Seven weeks' layoff has resulted in a loss of fitness but surprisingly, could spin up the hills without too much suffering. 16km, 185m climbing. Lovely!
Bit chilly this morning - 6°c. Had to go with full length shorts, as a friend calls them. Yes, he is a cyclist, and one more serious than I. Cold toes and fingers.
Struggled through about 15 miles on an old friend that's not seen any action for over a year. I'd forgotten how much I liked the Stumpjumper. The forks have seized but it didn't detract from the ride.

Autumn is upon us.
Unexpected but much welcomed Saturday afternoon ride. Long sleeve season but reasonably mild'ish with a steady breeze. Glorious sunshine and super-clear views (which means bad weather ahead). Tacky in places but rolling well.
Sunday morning road-ride before the weather turned later afternoon. Chilly 8 degrees but a smidge of colour before the sun hid behind the ever thickening grey clouds.
