Tales from today's commute....

[cyberknight]

made the right choice last night to use the car , snow overnight left even the main roads covered in maybe an inch of snow that had been compacted by only a few vehicles at around 5 am when i came home

Absolutely beautiful commute to work today, but am glad I wasn't on the bike, though I did stop to admire the view. Blinding sun light, -5, partially frozen roads, some cars still driving aiming to hit the NSL on country roads.....I was happy to enjoy the view from warmth and comfort .

It snowed a bit today:

"I was sober and could have walked a chalk line, but it was pleasanter to stagger"

The lightest dusting of snow last night. Just enough to make tracks on the quietest sections of the ride in.

So much lighter. I've been at work 17 minutes and one of my lights is charged already.

@palinurus I give up. I have spent ages trying to work out the location of the photo , which park are you crossing. I’m assuming it is in the Watford area.

Cassiobury Estate- shared path between Cassiobury Drive and Glen Way (sometimes I go that way, sometimes up through Nascot Wood)

Just a little pocket park really. With the worlds smallest sledging hill.

Thanks when I was working my route was through the estate and across Cassiobury park , never knew that cut through existed .

Very nice ride in today, sunrise over suburbia.

Getting acclimatised to the cold now.

This evening should be the last cold ride for a while Getting used to it now, just wearing a hat under my helmet which helps.

Thankfully Manchester has been spared from most of the snow so managed to cycle every day this week. Roads were not as damp as that cold spell in January so ice has not been too much of a problem.

Evenings are getting lighter now as well which is nice. Will be leaving work before sunset from next week.

Barbeque weather on Monday: +10C

With rain forecast as well. Guess who goes back to work on Monday having had this week on pre-planned leave.

Edited to add: I don't think the daytime temperatures will have totalled +10°C this week, even by Sunday
