It has been 47ºC in Penrith today!  42ºC by the max.-min. thermometer on our front veranda, in the shade.

It’s been hot all week, and my cricket was cancelled this afternoon (just as I was going to score a half-century ….).

Earlier this week, though, Andrew and I went biking through the Blue Mountains National Park.

That’s Andrew, out in front …

However there were times when I was in front also.

This is going down the Woodford track – catch the train to Woodford, then cycle down the firetrails to Glenbrook.  About 600m drop in 20km – a superb ride.

Even if hot ….
