Nearly every year is a drought year out here in the center, but when it rains it does it properly. Means that here's a waterhole to play in somewhere for a while, and if we're really lucky it's there until the next good rainy season.

Good rains for us, usually means that someone up in northern Western Australia had to cope with a cyclone.

That's a good thing. You went from coherent to incoherent in 5 minutes.

Tweezers, what are you doing up at this hour?
I am always up at weird hours. Always been a night owl. But I also always have Pelican open on my phone. Does it show up that I am "online" all the time then? Don't know.

Nice pics. Very beautiful country for sure.

Yesterday and today I had a couple great days on Mulholland. The weather was cool, sunny, and dry with no dirt or rocks on the road, and no cops or crazy riders at the times I rode. It felt great to get back on my rigid frame and be able to stand up on the pedals and really get somewhere without all my power going into the suspension.

I also realized I had forgotten how fun it is to go downhill on that bike. I tried staying in my aerodynamic tucked-in position the whole way down and keeping my cg lower seemed to make it easier to transition between turns. It is a little scary the first time since I am used to sitting up in the braking zone and through the turn, but I felt I was carrying more speed and lean angle while laying down. So much fun.

My arms get a bit of a workout too from pulling on the bars uphill and then pushing on the bars to react the braking forces going dowhill. When I sit up downhill I can lock my elbows so I feel it more now in my triceps. Which is nice.
