Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
What'd you do to it?

Nothing. Not me:laugh:

As far as SPF goes I got so brown in the summers my kids friends thought I was Hispanic.
Happy birthday Mrs D.
What is "scorchio" to you folks? It will be 33C here in the afternoon which is about right for mid July. Usually we have a few weeks in the summer of 38+ but it cools off at night. We have central air and and an attic fan that can change the air in 20 minutes and in so doing flushes the heat out of the attic which makes a huge difference in how fast the house heats up. Don't usually use the AC for more than 3-4 hours a day.
On Monday Mrs 12 will have her 4th lung tap and as soon as the insurance approves it a new round of a different type of chemo. Hopefully she will be breathing better fairly soon. Both sets of kids and spouses want to visit but it would be better to wait for that better breathing.
Well, off to walk the dog and then a ride before it heats up.
Be well and safe.

26 or 27 deg is scorchio here.

Yes. The spare. I suppose it only takes 1 cell to fail and that's it.
Lying around charged up probably did for it... As far as Li-ion charge goes, it is definitely a case of "Use it, or lose it"!

Yes, that is currently feeling a bit uncomfortable to me. I used to go to Spain in March every year and it was typically like this. It always took me about a week to acclimatise and then I felt good.

I don't think I would ever like temperatures in the mid-30s or higher though! :eek:

I am going to be SO relieved but also SO annoyed if it turns out to be that again! :laugh:
Nope, NOT the medical tag!

I've just nipped out to the shops and held the tag to stop it rattling.

I also stood up and the noise remained, so not the saddle. I rode no hands, still noisy - so not the bars/stem/brake levers...

I listened more carefully. The noise is more of a creaking than anything else. I can't see anything wrong with the cranks or frame. Rear wheel/hub is the next thing to suspect. I am going to try the wheel off my turbo trainer bike this evening.
 
21 or 22° is scorchio here, it’s currently nudging 24 - hors scorchio !! ^_^
Did some cleaning then went for a potter.

We were in Venice a few years ago and the temperature was somewhere between 40 and 45 degrees, I wouldn't want it much hotter than that.

We've a shade temperature round these parts(Yorkshire) today of 29.9°C. I'd still got the bodywarmer when I were out.
