I had a fun ride on icy roads today
(deepest darkest Midlothian).
There was one point where I had to put a foot down to stop at a junction and nearly slipped, even though I had deliberately stopped on a not obviously icy bit
. At the end of an offroad bit I met a fellow cyclist going the other way, and mentioned the icy conditions - he was very interested to see the tyres, possibly another convert.
He decided to turn round and head along the main road instead...
In the meantime the first proper flurry of snow of the evening arrived
- it's supposed to snow all night, amber MetOffice warning!
