    Too hot?

    I have just realised why the temps have increased here in SA & with a Westerly Vic & NSW will cop it as well.





    It's the 'SANTOS Tour Down Under' of course.

    I reckon it will be the heat given off by the 200 or more sweaty hard working riders, the friction from the chain gears & tyres & the apparent need for two choppers constantly overhead slowly following the race for TV.


    Well that's my theory anyway. Maybe a tad incorrect do you think?

    Thanks Eevo, I was starting to think it was just me having hot flushes.

    Are you also copping the Helicopters on your roof?

    I thought the chopper blades would have a cooling effect? On the subject of friction I wouldn't worry about the professionals, as pro'ly more heat is generated between the MAMIL's lycra clad, generously proportioned thighs.

    I think it's all the hot air generated by the Adelaide residents' gobs.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Hot air rises, so wouldn't the heat generated by those generously proportioned thighs help to keep the choppers in the air?

    Quite the opposite.

    It's the warm dense air that rises that is more of a concern
