Ice on the road!

[G3CWI]

Club run cancelled this morning - although I had already decided not to go.

Good call I think.

I had noticed it was a touch icy when I walked out to the car this morning.

It's not been cleared that well for a car that has moved (admittedly I have seen far worse!).

 

[Drago]

I've only reversed it up my own land to get the other car out!

I'm not even stepping out the front door in my fragile condition. Don't fancy another 6 weeks in hospital

Slushy stuff left here after last night's snow, the ice tyres are not great on slush but I stayed upright again, doubt I'll be riding to work though..

snow here in Leeds.....roads clear but road out of cul de sac not so....

Not sure what the main roads are like here but skysports day pass procured to help a turbo session. Don't fancy the snow but really want to ride.

Got invited to the MIL for dinner today earlier in the week , i was a bit annoyed as it was the 1st chance i had got this year for a club run but seems a good call given the weather , starting to come down thick again so its the MTB for the commute , i might stick the original tyres on rather than the slicks i have on atm.

I woke to a dusting of snow but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting and with it clouding over it actually felt milder than yesterday.

Sounds fun - I look forward to hearing how it went!

Posted report in the utility ride thread.

Enough snow in Leicester today to make me stay indoors, unless it buggers off quickly it will be a short ride to work tomorrow

It was actually better than the ice that was around on Saturday morning, just wet and slushy but very rideable.

Weather checked

Im on the train in the morning,and all week by the looks of things makes a nice change, my only like really is wearing civvies and not changing clothes and the warm carriage is nice, though Id rather be cycling

Taking public transport puts you into the unknown if you'll ever arrive of what I dont like

The heated sniffle incubator, you mean?

True, but you can minimise the risk. My rule of thumb in bad weather is to take any service that moves me closer to the destination even if it means I'll have to change again, unless I'm still close enough to get home unaided if all services stop. Bonus if I've got my folding bike, or walking boots and stick.
