We seem to be in the midst of a cold snap in this part of the world. Apparently Coolangatta recorded it's coldest August night ever just 24 hours ago (or at least the coldest in the relatively modest period for which records have actually been kept). This, of course, has not stopped me from riding during the evenings -- even if I did wear leg warmers from the start of an evening ride for the first time ever.
Tonight's jaunt to Little Nerang Dam made it all worthwhile. I had forgotten just how pleasant this ride was with the moonlight illuminating the gorge, within earshot of the rushing stream. Then I reached the dam wall, where the waters and surrounding mountains were perfectly illuminated in the moonlight, as was the gorge below. On a night like this, I feel sorry for the shut-ins who don't get to experience these things, I really do.
