More power to ya' buddy.

I was just watching a re-run of an old "Flight of the Conchords" where Bret and Jermaine are set up in the tourism show next to Australia (the Australian guy being a douche, naturally) and I was wondering - are these fellows well known in NZ? (In addition to the Conchords, Murray was promoting the Lord of the Rings sets.)

Not hugely popular that I know of, although they just ran a FOTC marathon on sky tv just lately showing all the episodes to date. Cant say their style of humor appeals to me, but I understand they are popular in the US? Also I think Bret had a small role in LOTR?

Very nice pics. Would love to trade places with you right now. Temps are slightly above or below freezing with a combo of snow/rain overcast skies or fog. This is one of the nicer places in the GWN. This winter has been exceptionally harsh North of the equator so I know we are not alone in our grief.

Today was a good illustration of So Cal range: Last night it was 16F in Wrightwood, warmed up to about 34ish when I got up there this morning to ski (an hour drive from my house), 26ish at the top. Did eight runs and went into work. By the time I pulled into my office parking lot it was about 65. I have had days in March where I have left the house at 85F... to go skiing!

Although I rode the GZ up there to pick up my pass, I have yet to ride up there on the bike to actually ski. It's very doable temperature-wise (as long as it's not actually snowing) - just don't have a place to put my skis, poles and boots.

O_o Oh man it NEVER gets that cold here. Maybe down in the South Island closer to antarctica. I shiver and run for a jersey at say 9 or 10C. Maybe in the dead of winter we might have a couple -3C frosts but 16F thats like minus 9C!!!! We have been having 15C thru the night and mid to high 20s thru the daytime. When I took the photos on sunday morning it was 9.30am ish and a reasonable 22C, comfy riding in jeans and a jacket.. Most people are still on holiday at the mo so the roads are fairly quiet, that makes for some great riding. Water Warrior what u mean GWN?? :??:

Mebbe u could strap em to a sissy bar! Tha'd be cool.

Skis, poles and boots can be put on a bike. Saw a larger bike go by with ski equipment and golf clubs. Probably had a fishing pole in there too. Have also seen a canoe filled with camping gear sporting wheels and being towed behind a mid sized bike. A lot of ideas out there just lurk on a few different forums and pick up ideas that will work for you. A street bike trailering a dirt bike is quite common here too.

Ski equipment AND golf clubs... that is a full day!

Squamish British Columbia is the outdoors capital of Canada. You can do almost anything here. International wind surfing competitions, fishing, mountain bike competitions(off road) and of course climbing the Chief. We also have some VERY experienced EMTs for the unfortunate souls who have an oops.
There is even a dedicated bird sanctuary for sick or injured Bald Eagles that winter here.
