A lot of great pics here. How does one post pics here if not using a separate hosting site?

Easiest way is Tapatalk app; you just add the photos on your phone to your posts.

[quote="RyanH"]We recently started a new group ride a couple weeks back. It's a beast of a circuit, 6 laps of 5.5 miles and 421 ft of elevation per lap (for whatever reason, it ends up being closer to 100' per mile). We had a good showing last week.

Spent a week camping down in the Otways around new years. Unfortunately conditions weren't great for surfing but still good for riding, so hit the dirt roads in the area.

Aire river crossing.

Very frosty morning, set off into -5C. Ventured onto local trails and found the endless mud frozen solid, yay, got home clean(ish).

It was -8°c when I left the home today in Lembeek for a solo ride. TBH, a little too cold to be good. I was not able to warm up the muscles enough to generate the usual amount of power uphill. Back home, I totalled 106km and 1100m elevation @ 30,5 km/h avg. More than enough after the high pace 130km group ride of yesterday. (almost avg 33km/h, leadng the pack front from start to finish, best way to keep warm also...)
