28/04/2011

Sydney weather is waaaaaaaaaay more confusing that it is in Auckland.  Today, I left my house, it was overcast and had been raining much of the night, but was fine at that moment. My work is 5 mins away so decided to bike in and not bring a change of clothes.

Three mins down the road it starts pouring.  I've never really appreciated the saying 'bucketing down' until now- it really was like buckets of water pouring over me. There was no point turning around, I rode hard, figuring I might be okay.  I arrived at work saturated, water everywhere, shoes, should literally wring out my jeans.  Apparently they had best on me to see if I would ride to work or not. I'm hardcore (or stupid).
I ended up borrowing the work car, driving home to get changed then coming back. When I arrived at my house to get changed, the sun was out.  WTF. Now THAT'S remarkable.

Lesson learned, Sydney, lesson learned.
