finally some rain........

It's been extremely hot and dry for months in Brisbane. I just looked out the window and it looks as though I'll be riding home in the rain. So finally my garden gets a drink but it might be cold riding home.

My friends from Australia suffer from those 40+ temperatures too :/

They've been eating ice-cream all day, all night.

You're not the only folks without rain. It's bitterly cold here, but we're still in a drought.

Cheers to rain gear, spare tubes, patches, pumps and the like. Hopefully you had enough of all that to deal with the situation.
