Took a bunch of Cub Scouts up to Australia's snowfields last weekend for a Winter Camp. Despite there being almost no snow, we had a great time!
Personal highlights were a walk in the high country at Bullocks Flat and along the Thredbo River (including a Scout's Own stop to draw the landscape) and a sunset at the top of Blue Cow.
For some of the Cubs it was the first or second time they had ever seen snow and that enthusiasm is hard to beat.
Snowball fights, frozen streams, campfire stories and skits, snow gums, lakes, skitubes, mossy riverbanks, icicles and much, much more.

In jindabyne, about a quarter of homes are now short term rentals. Locals are being priced out as house prices climb past $1.1m and rents have jumped nearly 85 percent in just five years. Towns built for tourism are squeezing out their own communities

Had a fantastic weekend in #Jindabyne , NSW riding bikes.
This was the third Snowy Classic and I've entered them all - Jindabyne is a couple of hours drive south for me and my three cycling buddies and the course, weather and the closed roads really do make it special.
I beat my time again across the 110km course and once again managed to climb the mighty Beloka hill (3.04km, 287m, Avg gradient: 9.4%).
The following day, we rode up into the high country, towards the Thredbo ski resort, and then back down and now my legs are really sore.

Yesterday, two friends and I rode in the Snowy Classic - a 110km (1650m climbing), closed road event in Jindabyne in the Australian Snowy Mountains. It's a beautiful spot at this time of year, up and down hills and through some classic Australian country towns like Berridale and Dalgety.
This is the second year of the event and my second ride. The 110km is testing but not terribly difficult for me, except for a massive difficulty spike at the 82km mark in the form of a monstrous hill called Beloka - average gradient 9.4% but some sections are 20%!
From Cycling Australia: "Short, sharp and brutal, Beloka is one of Australia’s most feared and revered cycling climbs."
Last year, Beloka beat me (I got off and caught my breath and then got back on) and I was resigned to more of the same because it's tricky to train for such an incongruously difficult climb. However, with the Tasmania trip, a year's worth of consistent riding (150km / week) under my belt and a very generous helping of resolve, I did it!
It's a great ride and is very well run like all the Classics events. I'll be back again next year to re-test my mettle against Beloka.
