Now only if I had such problems as Sandman when it came to winter. If ya ever feel like freezin yer arse off... come on up we'll go for a spin....


Six months ago (our winter) I took a 6000km ride with a friend (SRS from here)... headed down toward Sydney then inland over the Blue Mountains and back up north again. We got as far as Lithgow, NSW (bottom of the western side of the Blue Mountains) and stayed overnight in a pub. Woke up the next morning to find snow on the bikes and ice warnings on the roads. I bought a set of thermal underwear from KMart, Stewart bought a thermal nexk warmer thingy from a local bike shop, and we unsteadily wove our merry way towards Bathurst on icy roads for the first time ever. (Should have seen Stewart's reaction when we came across a snow-covered field... priceless!)

So yes... I've ridden in real cold, and no... I have no intention of repeating it. Snow's a stupid idea and should be banned.
