Hi All,
Why do you all live in a Ice Box?

Pete

In the interests of balance:

The diplomatic service lost a star when you took up cycling, Peter!

Further in the interests of balance, I remember snow in the early summer in Melbourne, a city in which eight months of the year the British-born feel right at home because it's freezing!

As for British weather, I remember and treasure each warm summer, which is easy to do as there are so few.  I remember the Fens with some pleasure. Why, one September, though I took a ride every afternoon for the whole month, I was only soaked 11 times. The special feature of the Fens is that they're flatter than Holland, so you can watch the clouds from afar and hurry home...

You say that like it's a good thing 

To my way of thinking 11 times soaked in one month is a pretty poor cycling record.

Well Well,
I got onto a Train up to Inverness two times at the start and again at the end of February to see Snow and only got Sun back in the late 1980's!
Cycled around Loch Ness in the warm Sun  

Never can across any Snow  

I live in Northland until 2000! and there is Not Snow! a Cold day is under 10c   So So Cold  

I how live in Taupo and we get maybe a few mm's of Snow every two years  

Love to play in Snow!

We get the best in that we can see the Snow Mountains at the South end of Lake Taupo but only the cold for a few days..

P.S. Back to river Crossings (Ford's) I think waiting a few days (or weeks) for a 4x4 to come and help you cross is still the Best

I'll have you know, in the time and the place, that's an outstanding cycling record of foresight and quick response to changing weather!
