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

[mike e]

My bike this morning. A bit had settled on it while I went and found a camera. But not much.

You can still see the marks where it fell over into the snow...

Congrats, comiserations, sympathy to any mad people who cycle in these conditions. I'm waiting for some sun, any ideas when we might see some?

First one in today,most of the techs have gone home now because customers cannot get in ! Bit hairy but did not come off and i had to pull over a few times to let the brave souls in cars pass which they seemed to appreciate.
Really deep here,cannot ever think when a saw snow like this,just want to get home now and play with the pink barbie sledge (with the kids of course ! )
Be carefull fellow nutters on the way home

I've just bought some winter gloves off ebay (my old ones got lost in the recent house move). Until they arrive, I'm not cycling anywhere.

Pretty tricky today. The road outside our house resembled an ice rink, but the bigger roads were OK. Did though have to get off when crossing a couple of bridges which were a bit skiddy too.

Saw one girl fall off - she was cycling along a very icy road whilst having a natter on her mobile.

Today was a bit warmer, the trees weren't coated with frost anyway.

Swear I saw more cyclists this morning than I do in the summer.

Anyone else getting frustrated with the gritty residue that seems to cling to the bike after riding on gritted roads?
I used some baby wipes to wipe the most of it off last time I was out but it seems to get everywhere - any tips? I was thinking of just trickling some water down it when I get back home to run most of it off, then put it in the conservatory with the heater on so it doesnt freeze.

We've had a smattering of snow this morning down here on the coast in Somerset. It's rapidly disappearing now but more is forecast this afternoon. I'm due in work at four this afternoon and I'm wondering whether it is best to cycle now in a bit of slush and be at work two hours early or cycle in and risk cycling as the snow comes down.

I want to go home. I drove in today as I have a bad cold and really regret it. I should have known when I had a job trying to drive up the road. I should have just rolled back into the drive and gone back to bed. There is no let up in the snow and going home is going to be a nightmare if it gets any worse. I have my walking boots on for if it gets desparate, not a chance in hell I'm staying at work! If they had their way we'd all be snowed in so they still can produce product. If I wasn't ill i'd have cycled.
