    There were a few brave souls this morning.... going very carefully...

    The worst part is pushing it to the end of the estate... slippery!!!

    Didn't get out Sunday, just fired the bikes up in the garage. I don't like ice skating at the best of times, let alone doing it on a bike.

    Slippy one this morning

    Lock froze on my gate, got the kettle tipped water over it still froze, being inpatient I then kicked the lock and broke the key off. Then had to remove the gate to get my bike out.

    Serves me right I guess

    This morning both ends of the journey were problematic; untreated and icy. The main roads are fine in South Wilts.

    Every year a mate and I do our Christmas shopping on bikes its quick easy to park and we just pile everything on then its off for a pint. Looks like this year it will have to be done on 4 wheels for the first time.

    Respect to everybody who uses a bike as their daily transport.

    Went out today (Monday) for an hour in the afternoon (sunny - but very cold) as was fed up of watching bikes on the telly and on youtube.

    Lost the back end two feet from the garage and a couple of times slowing down - not sure if I enjoyed the ride or not !

    Nice hot coffee when I got in though :-)

    I Normally ride all year and do a ride on New Years day (used to go surfing each New Years day but due to lack of fitness and how cold it is I gave that up) but with the old girl in the garage with an MOT failure on her I cant ride at the mo.
