Welcome to the forum
Sunday 18th Dec - 09.30 ride
3 tuns 09.30 as usual
Sat ride had two of us
( David J and I )
but roads where ok , no ice apart from the verge , we did a loop to the East.
2 hours was about right , did not get cold.
So I will be out tomorrow
short and very steady
( slow on corners etc.)
but did definitely feel better for it.

looked more dodgy than Sat, but actually no real ice on the roads.
We got to Hinxworth before the snow started slowly
frost on the fields and snow in the air - first true " nutters" winter ride.
It was when my rear mech cable broke after an hour that the real snow started !
With help from Alistair I joined the fixed gear group ( well one gear anyway ).
unfortunately this shortened the ride a little,
thanks to the guys for helping me back.
So with stretched chain , worn rear block and broken cable I know what my Christmas present will be :-)
May have to get the real old winter bike out - oh dear - hope you will wait on the hills !

Maybe we need to have an 'extreme weather cup' for the prize giving next year.......
A lesson in bike maintenance?
