Hmmmm - to bike or not to bike ?

I rode home at 2am; metcheck said 0 feels like minus 3; it was great. Bright moon, less wind than we've had for ages and not a car the whole way home. It's been as warm as Bridlington in August up here recently; it was nice to have some proper winter temperatures for a change.

Metcheck says -2 feeling like -5 at 6am tomorrow, and it was raining all day today. I suspect it'll be like a skating rink on my route tomorrow.

Do I risk it being not too bad, or assume the worst and bus it (possibly saving myself some scrapes, bruises and a damaged bike) ?

I hate ice.

You probably don't want to hear this but it was so warm that I cycled home in shorts last night for the first time this year.

You want to move down south, no ice here

Can't really feel sorry for anyone who has chosen to live above the Arctic circle, but certainly you don't want to be cycling on icy roads. Not if you want to have a good chance of staying alive anyway.

Wimp

Well the rain is back now !

 

[fossyant]

Oh no the rain isn't back...yet....

Totally tropical and dry in Sth Manchester. My first dry return commute of the year, and, get this......no overshoes, no thermals and mild weather gloves....whoooooooo.

PS it will hiss it down the rest of the week.

and dry
