Prepping For Next Biking Season

[nick crisp]

Yeah, you're bang on VNA. where there's hills, there's weather!  :\  Chance you take with visiting hilly/mountainous country, but worth it for those sublime moments when the light does break through. That's why I liked doing the backpacking and camping - yes you get wet sometimes, but when the rain clears and the sun comes out, and there you are to see it on some high ridge with no one else around - it's the only thing that for me comes close to the sheer joy of the b iking experience at it's best. And I guess going camping with the bike is the closest I can get to combining the two.
Some nice shots there mate, thankyou
