So, cycling is off tomorrow, then?

Did anybody get their 15 inches last night because in London we got zip?!

Not 15 inches but its pretty bad in Merthyr Tydfil. There is a reporter on BBC breakfast reporting from Merthyr and every time they go to him he is in deeper snow.

Can't see me getting the bike out this weekend

How was the MTB ride in?

Sluggish

I had robbed the M520's for a project some weeks ago and foolishly replaced them with basic platform pedals (afterall it's what MTB'ers use, so I'm told). Rookie error of the day was that I thought I could use old trainer-stylee SPD shoes atop the nasty platform pedals. I didn't feel 'as one' with the machine

p.s. I'm not 'linking' the part about you not being able to get out at the weekend - to the person above... just the bit about the reporter and growing snow.

I can't remember the last time i rode a bike sans spd. But when I did I do remember it was hellish lol.


I have resigned myself to not getting out at all over the weekend

Yep strong winds and drifting by the looks of it, If you do't hear from me later Ive probably been sunk by a snowberg

I live in Cornwall, we are the only place that doesn't get snow. Not sure if I should be happy or sad.

Very rare here too. None today, and none forecast. It's either cold and dry here, or mild and wet. So the bike may well get a wee outing today.

Good luck LD. If we don't get an update by daybreak, we will despatch a fleet of our finest St Bernards.

Yep - it just feels wrong, without SPD. I'll be out - likely on both days but expecting my mileage to be demished and it'll almost certainly be on this brick of an MTB.

 

[Drago]

Been out early am. On spuds too. Very pleasant.

 

[SquareDaff]

Rode in today - not a problem with the snow. That icy cold easterly wind was a bit of a bugger though!!

 

[subaqua]

tis starting to settle here at London Bridge. ride home could be fun. bring it on

 

[Globalti]

Looks like being a normal Saturday here in Lancs so I'll be out on the CX/winter bike. If any snow falls I'll put some off road tyres on it as a concession.
