YEP. Bus for me today, would've had Nth winds going and Sth winds returning plus that wet stuff in copious amounts.

A head wind all the way from Crafers down Glen Osmond Rd to the city. Love it.

If you are an afternoon commuter it could be interesting
No big deal for evening commuters though  ..........

I am cycling to the physio this afternoon. Still receiving treatment for a broken shoulder from a cycling crash.

For Gods sake dont fall off your bike while riding to the physio.....

Martin, the crash was 6 months ago. Clearance from doctor to cycle but takes time and physio to get full movement back. I changed my other plans due to the weather forecast but physio was booked.

Very glad I checked the forecast before leaving this morning.  Looked fantastic at 7.30am but it's going to get ugly.  Wetbike is in the basement at work.  Good bike is in the hallway at home :)

I just made it home alive, it was a horror riding by Parafield Airport with the wind and dust on one side, the traffic on the other. The ride normally takes 22 minutes but this time it was a 38 minute trek.

My hair is a solid dirt brown.
