    Unfortunately the Norwegian Blue got stunned by the snow flakes. They stun easily those norwegian blue's you know

    Spam, spam peas and spam

    Of course riding on spam gives even fewer choices than snow.

    Don't get to see snow much (if at all) and black ice is something I hope never to find. Fuck I hope there's no ice on the GC. I can haddle most other riding conditions but that's one that really worries me. .
    Yes the ice is by far the worst. I went to Taupo in the winter last year on the bike and when the snow wasn't on the road it was frozen ice. It is the only time I let some cars go passed cos they were so close after the summit kiosk if I came off they would have run me over. Frozen solid it was. I passed them across the plains again but it was hard to stay on the road because the ice followed the dips in the road and the bike followed the low spots. No choice but what a ride. I came back with another bike and when ever we went passed a shady spot on the road the bike hit the rev limiter cos anything not in the sun was still frozen. I was told it was -6 deg C across the plains at 8 in the morning. That's the time I was on the road. That was the only time I have worn and appreciated my silk balaclava. It was great. I had a grade 3 blizzard waist coat on and shit loads of Polly prop. The hands suffered with the cold but everything else was fine.
