*Up Queensland way it is all year round, but I personally wouldn't want to live there.
I admit I wear full gloves and long jerseys from about April, 10c feels cold when you've come from 40+c. !!!

Pfft. If he heads to QLD it's still 10+°c for most of winter. Even Sydney north doesn't get much below 0°c Gloves and a Gabba andd off you go. I survived last winter without leg warmers on the Central coast.
Spent 5 weeks in Chichilla QLD during "Winter" few years back. Think my scottish skin got sunburn... Anyway this is distracting from the thread MORE OZZY PICTURES!!!!

Those mild winters do come at a cost though, namely scorching summers. Was 38c here at 9am today in the Western Suburbs of Sydney. Reached 44c yesterday afternoon, not much riding getting done at the moment!

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.

Now if you want to be a hardman like Lizzie you don't wear arm warmers.
Great shots.
