I've checked the merchandise page, could not see the OzSTOC shorts Chris is wearing, or the long white socks Jean is wearing.  Are these discountinued lines?

I heard a rumour it nearly snowed in Adelaide. What is the world coming to?

It did snow on Mt Lofty and other places in the Adelaide Hills.  I hope it warms up before our ride to Swan Reach next Saturday.

At least you are threatened with 14-15 degrees. We are looking at 11-12 this side of the border.

It doesn't to bad for Swan Reach though the closest I get was Nuriootpa (Barossa Valley) but not much different to here in Peterborough. Being down on the plains it may be just a little warmer at Swan Reach.

Photo taken at Knox, eastern side of Melbourne in the mid afternoon on Sunday. I cannot compete with snow but I was impressed or was it depressed. Forecast was for 12. Mmmmm

Riding home from the Tungamah RTE the temperature readout on the bike dipped to 4 degrees a couple of times between Yea and Kinglake West, usually it was sitting on 5 Degrees.

I had to promise my daughter I wouldnt take her on the bike again when it was that cold. :like

Just don't tell her next time, just say of course it will be warm. But she did take hours to thaw out.

The carbon tax obviously worked a treat
Lucky they scrapped it, or we would freeze our tutu's off with it causing weather like this
