I vote for yes :D
The company that I work for has manufacturing, engineering and sales in Sydney. I'm still trying to find a good reason for them to send me over - at least, for the winter, summer, or whatever time of the year it is.

While you're riding, like you have been all year, I'm going to be up on one of the worlds best ski/snowboard mountains. Then once the snow thaws I'm going to drag myself down and hit the twisties on the bike and once the summer hits I'll be tanning on the beach while looking up at the mountains.
:canada:

Plus I'd rather not ride all year. Did you not read the study? I put the bike away so I can spend twice as long in the sack ;)

haha Brenda, I've never used it before either! Guess some things just push our buttons.

I too enjoy the riding stories and pics during our winter - it's just so tough to live somewhere you only get a couple of good months of riding each year.

Time to "Winterize"..........What the heck is that?!?!

FYI, I ride ALL YEAR ROUND. Only stopping me is snow and ice, which last year was practically nowhere to be found.
Most people are "fair weather" riders, others will trek out into the rainy season, a few starts packing it up when the first autumn leaves fall.
So for you a big :Flip::Flip: from an ALL YEAR rider. :D

Thanks Daniel... needed that, mate... :eyebrow: :rant: ;)
