I'm sure the weather in Perth is just great right now.

Try living in Sydney. At the moment we are having a bit of rain. Rain is not a everyday event here. The worst thing is, it's supposed to rain on Sunday, the day when I usually go on my long bike rides. Bugger.

Where I grew up (in NZ), we would have rain & frost in winter. I got used to that level of cold & didn't complain too much. But times have changed.

I've got so use to the climate ,this side of the ditch, anything below 20 degrees (celcius) seems cold to me.
Summer can't come soon enough. I do miss 30 degree heat, and a day spent at Manly beach.

Happy Riding
