Shiny ice stuff on the side roads,wet melting snow on the mains...can we have summer now please ???

 

[brickisred]

Oh my god!!!

I’ve just finished my commute. It is deadly out there. At one point there was more sideways movement from my bike than forward movement! It had just started raining.

...Agree. I should have stuck to the roads today!
Trail was almost impossible to cycle on, went across some fields in the end as it was the only place I could get any traction. Stuck to the roads for the rest of the way.

Wet this morning. I preferred the snow.

A random frame-grab from this morning's trip to work:

A touch of ice this morning on side roads but main roads were clear (although wet). Was a nice ride though. Even had time to spot a bump between two cars at a roundabout. First commute of 2010.

It's only two and a half months till spring, not long now!!!

No need to grit Harborne. Everyone there drives drives 4x4s anyway...

Much better this morning. Not frozen, roads good and traffic courteous to a fault. Winter is over.

Haha the houses may be big one side but the rest of harborne is just 1 step up from worlds end !

No, no - remember, we've had a barbecue summer and a mild winter, just like the long range forecast said we would, because everyone knows they are never wrong...

Actually it was quite a decent summer in London. I rely on dry weather for my work, so I tend to pay some attention. 2007 was the terrible summer.

Well, reckon this is the end of nutter-type commuting for me, back to cold, wet and generally miserable commutes.

I'll clean up the 'cross bike and put it away, slicks again tomorrow.

You are nearer the Equator than us lot. Used to work with a guy from Essex who always said the weather was better than up Manchester.

I went to 23c slicks beginning of this week, after 3 of spiked tyres it's a real revelation to be on a sharp, light & aggressive bike again... I'd forgotten what real acceleration is
