Which Nutters cycled in then......?

[Crankarm]

Ooh, which ones.....

I'm thinking of using the TPT to get most of the way into work, which means about 2 miles road, then TPT then another mile at the end.

TPT ?

Woke up, looked out the window, everything encased in a thick layer of ice, so slipped back beneath the warm duvet. Everything where the sun hasn't yet reached is still covered in thick ice. Tis collllllld.

Friday night will be the killer cold night. The forecast predicts a drop to -19C in Haltwhistle, Lake District. Yikes.

-6 in West Oxfordshire. Used my mountain bike instead of the Surly and just took it easy. My glasses steamed up and then froze so had to do without, and the freewheel seemed to slip a bit - just too cold I guess. By the time I reached Oxford my feet were getting cold, despite wearing wooly boolies, Shimano winter boots and overshoes.

Took it very gently, watching the layer of frost that had formed on the front wheel.
A little bit slippery through the back streets of Neasden, and I guess the temp must've been well below zero, as I'd by then lost all feeling in 3rd and 4th fingers (despite outer and liner gloves).
Dammit, I need to get that Christmas extra weight off.

 

[Two mile commute]

The garage lock was frozen but other than that no problems. The Wirral seems to have escaped the worst of it, again.

Very icy today, but no snow. Quite a fun ride really.

 

[Wheeledweenie]

I did, dunno what the temperature was, around -3 apparently but it'll be around 15 miles on the round trip.

TPT ?

Trans Pennine Trail - no slidey cars to contend with..... just so happens I can access it near home and near work.... (if my spiked tyres come)...

Day off,first commute Wednesday then 6.

 

[bad boy]

Yep me too, although not too bad in London road wise but very cold my fingers especially my thumbs were numb.

I rode in slowly today. Did my first (nearly) 60 miler yesterday and it was hard: below freezing temps and I'd not been on the bike for nearly 3 weeks. Loved every minute of it though (apart from the bits I hated). Got to work and my lock was frozen. I'm also thinking about some treaded tyres for the commuter until the weather gets better, going down the local recycle-bike place tomorrow to see if they've got some cheapies.

 

[Armegatron]

Took a week off work so I could get some nice rides done all week. The weather is conspiring against me and after my last 20 miler in what felt like -2 temps, I cant hack being out that long in the cold temps.

 

[BrumJim]

Brum was fine today on a bike.
However with the M6 South closed before Coventry, going anywhere by car was a nightmare.

That would be a dream commute for me not having the extra worry of a car running me over if i came off.Cracking trail !

 

[addictfreak]

Not back until tomorrow, but i'll be on the mountain bike sticking to the roads though my off road route is extremely icy.

Not doubt the boss (who is a fair weather cyclist) will tell me im mad and how dangerous the roads are, dispite the fact hes never rode on them!

 

[Origamist]

-2 when I set off this morning, but thankfully no ice. There were lots of new potholes and fissures however - I'm going to report the worst of them this evening.
