Well Steve it has been stinking hot (close to 40 degrees some days) for longer than it should have for a while before the late rain. But now it's around high 20's low 30's a lot more pleasant. As we're getting closer to 'winter' it's better for off road antics as it's not much fun dragging your bike out of a hole in summer mid day sun! I'm planning on heading into Byfield national park, 2 hour ride north in a months time which has a mix of hard pack, Forrest tracks, gravel roads & sand down to the beach.
