But is it not too dangerous with the ice/ snow on the roads?
With 32mm tires and a low tire pressure it is quite alright as long as you stick to the roads which have been treated with de-icing salt. The biggest issue was Speedplay cleats clogged with snow which makes it very hard to pedal.
And if I ever meet an aardvark, I'm going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn't suck up an insect if its life depended on it.

Yes that's a good one! As a child I learned to ride a bicycle in Paris with all the traffic. More dangerous than the winter in Estonia.... Only the best survive! Hello Mr. Darwin....
Seriously I am always very surprised how do you guys come to a sport like road biking? I would have guessed that you do more like hockey etc...
So, the Tour down Under is approaching and we are well into summer. Did a part of the loop for the Sportive ride for Stage 4 (the pics are taken near Tungkillo & Lobethal). Was a great day out with a max of 28 degrees C, but may be much hotter come race day !!
Ride will be 168km (home to home) with just over 2,300m of climbing.
