We ride as long as the ice is off the rocks, but early/mid fall deep leaves make it tough as well, if the trail is tight many times you can't even see it. The guys here up north in New England get a lot more snow that stays so its actually more consistant with spikes. Here its always changing snow, ice, mud, etc. in ab average winter.

Hey I'd love to go to Oz for a riding vacation. Awesome country for the sport, and everyone I've met from there were great people.

well just like wideglide ,ah i mean widebear i've been riding since march. i augered myself head fist into the dirt over a log jump warmin' up for a race in mid april.pulled,stretched,ripped and tore a bunch of stuff in my neck&,rt shoulder area. that one hurt,big time!! i took a couple weeks off and i'm just now getting back to regular pace of riding. but we get to ride at least one evening and a saturday/and or a sunday ride every week. so 2 or 3 hr's on wed nite and 4/5 hrs on a weekend can add up to a lot of saddle time over a season! some weeks we will double those #'s. but i did 60 km's today with a couple buddies on some pretty fast stuff mixed with tight single track and that took almost 3hr's.

I'm backing Rickster, even though us Aussies are a small contingent of Gassers we have awesome all year round riding...and loving it!!!!! But... we have had over 210mm of rain in 24hrs so my chances of getting monkey butt this week are slim Doh

I was out on Sat for the first time and we did some trail cleaning and a bit of riding. I was dead tired after, just a little too much for my first day out, expecially after my heart porcedure. Beautiful day though!
