See y'all in a month!
I'm leaving for Australia for a month tomorrow, and let me tell you, its rough, considering its 85 degrees there and 23 degrees here 
Anyways, we are biking about 800mi in 2.5wks and then just hangin out the rest of the time there I guess... its for school, we get to learn about biochemistry and organic chemistry. Should be a good time... I'll be sure to post up some pics when I get back.

Take lots of pics and give us a ride report when you get back. I envy you. I would love to be able to do a trip like that.
Have fun. You'll never forget this trip!

If my winters were that warm I would likely ride all winter. Try -45c with wind chill on the east coast or -25c in Whistler (its a record low year on the 'warm' west coast)

Yeah, it got pretty cold here in FL last week. I think it dropped all the way down to 57 degrees F. I was freezing!
Sorry Mael, just had to rub it in a bit!
