The heaviest snow falls for 13 years bought an unusual amount of snow to the South of England. On Tuesdays I was watching a programme – The Natural History of British Isles. At the end it said global warming could cause end of the gulf stream and this would leave the UK as cold as Canada. – Don’t like that idea. By the way if we have any Australian readers, it’s probably even tougher cycling through the record high temperatures of 45 degrees! Australia has been having. Apparantely, you could fry an egg on the pavement outside.

Yes, I live in Melbourne and cycled home 20km (12.5 miles) in 45.1° heat last week. The worst thing is your water bottle warms up so half-way into the ride you’re drinking water at ambient temperature. I’ll tell you I got home and collapsed onto the floor, leaving a big puddle of sweat before hauling myself into the shower for a long, cold shower – ignoring the current water restrictions!
I don’t envy folks riding in snow though, as at least my ride home wasn’t in slippery conditions.
Wow, that sounds pretty extreme!
