Oh yeah...oops...memories going.
Nobbly tyres for a CX club ride tomorrow morning. Weather appears mild enough. In fact i don't use mudguards on the CX so i will likely get very muddy!! Good to mix it up. Road riding all the time, in winter, would be enough to dishearten even the keenest of riders.

Must be nice to have that choice.I am a very regular cyclist - admittedly more often in towns and cities than in the country. I have once - in my life - been faced with ice that's given me pause. That was when it had snowed, and a small thaw had been followed by a very deep freeze.
Frankly, if it's cold enough to be icy I'll stay at home. And advise anyone else who asks to do the same.
