Day 1893 #Pedal2Work
Much more comfortable conditions were experienced on the way to #Melbourne CBD this morning, but the humidity made the ride feel sluggish. Still better than the 45°+ heat from the ride home last night. I didn't push it to go fast, and just enjoyed the ride.

Comfortable ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning, but only just. Could feel the heat starting to rise as I made my way into the city, but overall it was a good ride. Hoping it won't be 40°+ on the way back.
Stay hydrated out there. 👍🚲😀🥤

Pleasant ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning along the Main Yarra Trail. Conditions were very comfortable, and saw a large group of senior riders today. Must have been the theme this week to get out and about socially. 👍🚲😀

Cool start to a warm and humid ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning. Thought it was going to be cold, but was hot and sweaty after a few mins. Did see another large group of senior riders passing me the other way on the Main Yarra Trail. 👍🚲😀

Cool but humid ride into #Melbourne CBD, and was quite surprised with the amount of people riding their bicycles socially shopping the Main Yarra Trail this morning. I saw two long "peletons" of senior riders out and about. Must be the weather conditions.

Another warm and humid morning to ride a bicycle into #Melbourne CBD along the Main Yarra Trail. This morning there were many people riding their bicycles along the same route. Turned up to work sweaty like yesterday. Still prefer riding to driving a car.

Warm ride in the morning to #Melbourne CBD, and by the time I was at work I was drenched in sweat. It wasn't very hot and the sky was slightly cloudy at times, but it was humid - and that added to the amount of perspiration. 👍🚲😀

Enjoyable ride to #Melbourne CBD this boring with warm and cloudy conditions, with bits of sun poking through. The first half of the ride felt like riding into a headwind, but then the second half felt like the wind changed direction and the speed picked up.

Warm and humid ride to #Melbourne CBD this morning. While it was comfortable and overcast, I did arrive at work drenched in sweat. Thankfully the showers were free. And it beats driving a car or sitting on public transport. 👍🚲😀

Warm but comfortable ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning, but did have a slight tail wind on the way in to make the ride slightly easier. Small patches of a refreshing cool breeze were also encountered. Not looking forward to the ride home if it's 40°+.

Very warm ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning. Was in the mid 30°s (Celsius) by the time I got to work, so it didn't hit the patch when it was above 40, which would have felt like riding through a hair dryer. Cool shower at work got me back to normal.

Last day of this year to ride a bicycle into #Melbourne CBD for work. This time I stopped for a #quax, and got rockstar parking out the front of the shop. No doubt I'll do more riding this year, but just not for work.

Left a little bit later this morning as I woke up to the front tyre being flat. Once changed, it was a pleasant ride into #Melbourne CBD. A lot less cars were being driven on the roads. Looks like Christmas holidays have started for some. 🚲👍😀

Today was a cooler than usual start, so I made the mistake of wearing a jacket for my ride to #Melbourne CBD. Did a quick #quax along the way before getting into the proper commute which turned out to be very warm with the jacket still on.
