I am switching job roles as of the 4th Feb so my commute may well be curtailed... or indeed extended but until I make the switch I don't know where I will be based :unsure:

Ian - It's getting better... no particular pain now, as there was 10 days ago. Slight tweak if I am pushing it hard or climbing hard but it's just taking a while to clear up and I can feel a funny sensation of resistance or something when I swivel my foot up and down. I'll keep it in check for a little while before taking any action :tongue:

LD - you're right about bedtime. Goodnight :tired:

Are you sure that your ankle is not just freezing up in this weather, numbing the pain? I think it would serve you best, for the future, to take at least two weeks off cycling.....:whistle:

As an aside, am still quite amazed how many miles everyone still does and have done given the weather and how its early Jan still.

I have some very impressive chilblains on my thighs from cycling in this cold weather (well-insulated legs and recumbent position = cold wind on the thighs).

I have still managed 24+ miles every day this year, despite having frozen brakes yesterday and the day before. I'm wondering if North East Essex will escape the snow over the weekend so I can keep on pedalling but somehow I doubt it.

Have you 2 got snow yet ?

Yes - its blizzard-like here. Central London is ok - just slush and wet, with snow on some of the untreated pavements but once you get 5 or 6 miles out it's proper! I came home the scenic route, through Richmond Park and the outer trail was a vague path of virgin whiteness.

Edit: there's about 3 inches that have settled here. (Yes, yes, Northerners, we know... it's not real snow until you can bury Fred Dibnah's dead mother in law's cat in it - without the tail sticking up to mark the spot, etc etc)
