Jesus mate....how many of those things are breeding in your basement??? Good to see you with some nice weather again. I feel for you when you are snowed in and not able to ride. At least here in Melbourne, you can still ride most days in winter unless you go into the mountains. Down on the plains, a cold winter day is 6 degrees C. So even if it's pissing with rain and 6c, we can ride. But you, you'd have to have snow chains for a winter ride most times hey?

Mind you, I have done a ride into the snowfields...several times...during mid winter. It used to be an annual July event, to ride to the top carpark at Lake Mountain. The toll operators were puzzled as to if we required chains and if we were allowed, so we just used to skirt around it and keep going believing in the forgiveness before permission motto. Several times we had to help push bikes back out of the carpark afte we had gone tabogganing. Back then, winter gear was nylon dryrider jacket and pants and rubber over boots. So that also doubled as ski wear once at the top!

The trip up was always challenging, the trip down was often just frightening!!!!!

He looks ecstatic mate, coming in his pants by the look of him

But it must be a good feeling to get a bike out of storage and have it fire straight up

riding through the snow, you have to be mad to do that
