I don't think I'll be out.

 

[longers]

No problem, another time eh?

Latest from metorog

Outbreaks of snow for many through the morning, easing slowly during the afternoon to leave drier spells. Cold, with temperatures just above freezing, and mainly light winds becoming southwesterly. Maximum temperature 4 °C.

 

[longers]

I'm still going as I think we'll be fine and can change the plans as we go if need be but I don't want to influence your decision either way Jim, it's your call.

I'd not like to persuade you to come along and then for you to suffer even the tiniest mishap.

I'm going mountain biking instead, sorry guys. Have fun though.

Yeah, I just dare not risk the ice again. I have some races planned pretty soon (april) and my leg hasn't fully restored yet, so I'd rather not risk the chance of damaging it further.

Not bothered about mishap longers. I just hate the cold and not able to warm up. I think it,s great that someone is making the effort to sort out a ride.
If I don,t make it. Enjoy.
Jim

Met Office and BBC weather both say same as today - frost overnight, sunny spells, clear, and very cold!

Oh, and possible sleet from 15:00 but we'd be home by then!

 

[longers]

2" of snow here and it's still falling . I don't fancy taking any risks, so sorry but I'm going to go for a walk instead.

Another time eh?

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

approx 4inch here and still falling heavily.i'd be up for next safe one

 

[trio25]

Snow here as well. At least it looks pretty! Mountain bike was the right decision!

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

can't even do that.no spikes and 1st layer of snow is frozen solid. at least i sneaked short 15 miles last night.

 

[trio25]

No spikes here either, but when there is fresh snow it is grippy. Was out on friday in it no problems.

 

[dan_bo]

Booger. Anyone up for next week the same?

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

yep
