Snow :(

[cyberknight]

Had a fun run home thursday in a blizzard and then wimped out friday when i saw about 4 inches on top of the car when i got up, mind you i picked up a stinking cold last week that had got onto my lungs so i did not need much of an excuse .
Luckily no crashes this year yet....

I've just come back from a week skiing at Serre Chevalier. Had a bit of trouble with the snow; I fell over a few times and a lump of snow fell off a hotel roof and clobbered Mrs Gti, which didn't amuse her.

The Col des Lauterets was interesting by bus early yesterday morning - the Alpine buses have winter tyres and the driver was super-confident, overtaking all the slow traffic and really chucking the bus around.

3-4 inches again this morning.

Decent covering here overnight,was planning a little ride today as I haven't done much this week(60 miles) but it looks like a no go now.
Oh well hopefully be gone by mid-week.

Plenty of snow overnight and it's still falling now!

More Damn snow, yet another day when I can't get out on the bike... this isn't funny any more. I was getting so fed up with the bad weather Mrs VC and I were thinking of going to Madeira for a weeks walking in the sun, glad we didn't now - and thoughts with those who are affected.

ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It's happening again - it's outside again, everywhere!

I'm fed up of it now!

It's been like this on & off since mid December!!!!!

& I've sprained my knee so two weeks of 'rest'! (not even the turbo)

+1 It's still coming down here. On the bright side, it didn't snow yesterday. I could have had an interesting drive back from Cornwall otherwise...

Even the kids round here have go bored with the snow now!

Strangely,no snow in central Scotland(Falkirk) for the last few weeks, temperatures of -5C and below all week though(during the night).

Sorry to hear about your tumble Mrs Fry - hope your not too shaken up + the bikes not damaged.

With a little more experience you can minimise the risk of taking a tumble - alter riding style to suit - slow down, go easier into corners, let some air out of your tyres to give you a bigger contact patch with the road etc.

Most importantly don't let it effect your confidence because you've been through a lot in your first few weeks commuting. It'll all be worth it when the good(better) weather comes in.



All the best Mrs Fry.
