I'm riding to Woodchurch tomorrow, thanks for the heads up re the possibility of ice around the Ashford area. Ice is a relatively uncommon hazard along the coast.
I'm always impressed by you folk who go out voluntarily to ride your bikes on these cold mornings.
I just don't have the toughness I had when I was young, and these days I struggle even to get out of bed to go to work - and I work at home! In fact, sometimes it's so bad I do my first hour or so's work on my laptop while still in bed.
It's definitely fair-weather cycling for me these days - I've had my fill of cold winter spills and icy soakings, and I don't want any more of them.
The main and most important thing is your ok ,and not to badly hurt. Cycling has been off the menu for a good week for me with this bad weather of late. I did manage a ride on Sunday when the weather was a little warmer but even then, I felt the bike losing grip in some parts of the lanes.
Glad your ok Charlotte..
We had a couple hipsters once but they were shot and eaten. (Joshing) Actually do have some, but quite a few nonhipsters like singles and fixies. We have excellent single track 30 minutes away on the mountain immediately behind Casper and there are some folks who enjoy riding fixed on those trails, too.You don't have to travel that far, I'm sure in New York too.
I'm guessing there aren't many hipsters in rural Wyoming.
Edit: apologies - I see that Casper is not "rural" but the second biggest city in Wyoming. I bet it does have hipsters
You seem to have misspelt "strong drink". HTH. GWS.Oh you are all so adorable! Thank you so much, yes it has definitely knocked my confidence a little. I cannot wait to get home and unwind with some yoga and strong incense!
Places to go, things to do. The sunny sunrises are worth it.I'm always impressed by you folk who go out voluntarily to ride your bikes on these cold mornings.
I'm guessing pretty much all of us have done similar.
Black ice is no respecter of mass, or anything else for that matter.
It was the 'incense' bit I was wondering about, I might have come across some strong 'incense' in my time.You seem to have misspelt "strong drink". HTH. GWS.
