Fixed in the snow...

[MajorMantra]

...is kind of neat. Granted, I nearly came off a few times and I couldn't see where I was bloody going because of the horizontal snow but it was sort of entertaining.

Cycling across Sainsburys' car park was particularly good. To skid, I didn't have to brace my legs in the slightest - if I stopped pedalling I started to slide.

So who fell off today?

I wasnt out today on my bike, but i went to see my GF at her school when it was abit cold. The drive up to her school was white with ice/frost, and i just rode up it on the fixed. There was people slipping around walking, and i had people look to see if i was going to ride up.
Rode up no problem, and just before a speed bump i let the back wheel slip out Look pretty cool, and i impressed a few people doing it
Excellent fun
I also went down a road on a club ride that was ice. Loved spinning my wheel up and skidding. The older people in the club stopped at the top, and 3 of us went down it so far, then turned around and went back.

Slow speed, down hill left turn, two wheeled skid. Held it for a while but couldn't regain control. Well fun out there.

It's supposed to rain here tomorrow. I expect it'll be grim.

Rain and sleet tonight follwed by a drop to -4 here tonight, according to metcheck. The compacted snow is already really dangerous just walking across the road! Tomorrow it's gonna be an ice rink

Pretty hairy again today but no offs

Nice bike Joe

Couple of hairy moments today as even main roads were just compacted snow rather than slush - had to get off and walk a few times (on hills mostly).

Missed most of the snow this week. Combination of short time working and a cold. was in Thursday and the Pearson was very good. Had to make a few saves and walk part of one hill. But in general its very stable and predictable.
