The city dwellers of Perth got all excited about a storm that, if you listened to all the hype and hysteria, was going to wipe out everything in its path. Reality was we had some gusty winds and some heavy rain. Pretty much business as usual for a Perth winter.
Good job nothing serious was going to happen – imagine the hysteria then!

Notes
Changed bikes today as I noticed the spin bikes had adjustable handlebar heights. My knees are very close to hitting the handlebars on the ones I’ve been using. Seems to be a bit more like a real bike and I was able to fully adjust the seat and handlebar heights to suit perfectly.
My distance was down even though I maintained the same RPM as usual – in fact I’m sure the gearing made the resistance a little more than usual. Probably just different calibration/accuracy of the equipment.
Biceps – getting close to squeezing out full sets of 10 using 40kg now.
