Climbed Charlotte Pass (1850m) with return from Jindabyne - a total of 76km, 1206 metres of climbing, out and back in about 3 hrs 15 min. Backed up after a lunch stop with a climb towards Thredbo as far as Crackenback resort for another 34km and 450m of climbing. A good hit out of 1650m climbing in all in freezing conditions (around 5 degrees at Charlotte and wind chill very biting). Good riding except one freaky part on first ascent where I hit some black ice - luckily I was climbing, not descending!
