600 kms OUTSIDE!
 
I just completed 600 kms in the past 2 weeks outside. :D 495 kms of that was in the past 8 days.

And overall the weather has been fairly decent ranging from mid 20sC to mid 30sC, with lots of sun ... and lots of wind. There was a bit of rain in there, and one day in particular was quite overcast, but in general it was not bad. I love the southern hemisphere!! :D

It's going to be tough going back to the northern hemisphere. :(

I hate you!
Hope you're having a great trip.

In order for me to completely live through you vicariously, there must be pictures.

I thought the same thing and where in the world is it 20-30 C. I found this.

I wouldn't come back until at least 2 weeks into march. It's an unusually snowy, cold and long winter.

Yes, the start of the story is there. The next day we started the journey down to Wilson's Prom and back. I've got most of it typed, and about 300 photos, I think, so I'll load it all as soon as I can. :)

I'm so jealous! I'm still stuck in glare ice country.... Can't wait to see your pics.

I can hardly stand it, I'm training for 10 days in Arizona mid march. Nothing as spectacular as Austraila :D

Here's a few more photos. :)

I'm hoping to get the rest of the tour story, complete with these photos and a lot more, up on my website this weekend.

Sadly, I am back in Canada now. Happily, the temperatures aren't terrible ... I might actually get out for a ride on dry pavement and above freezing temps this weekend.
