MTB again...here, and Trans Pennine for half the route. Makes for a nice change. Although, I have got to ride into the City Centre this afternoon for a meeting and home on the sluggish snow tyres.
Very icy but not a lot of snow in W.Oxfordshire. I like the winter tyres My front mech froze on the way home last night, managed to set it to the middle ring and made good progress with that, I only use the middle ring coming into work. This morning I found that the rear mech had frozen as well!! Came to work on a singlespeed 38/18 (about 54.5 inch gear). Forced be to go slower on the ice.
I set off this morning in a snow blizzard, although I have seriously considered it I still havent missed a commute yet. I even went to the train station one morning only to find the only train that hour was canceled, so cycled anyway! I am looking forward to it getting more snug though, soon I hope.
I've been on the road bike all week and it's been much better than I 1st feared,cold and frosty early on but no signs of ice.
Can't work the traffic out though,one day the roads are dead and the next it's near gridlock(slight exageration)
