One of the last commutes of the year for me. Still icy out there so took the flatter Bromley/Lewisham/Battersea/Fulham route rather than the shorter but scarier crystal palace slush descent.

18 miles for me, and at best, another 75 to go. By Wednesday night, I'm all done.

After seeing the photo of Auntie Helen's trike nearly buried in snow, I thought that I would show you, what it was like in the Land Down Under. Bearing in mind, our weather is absolutely crap at present. It should be about 25-30 Celsius, but isn't.

Here is today's photographic record of my ride from home to Docklands and return, mainly along bike paths. Total distance was approx 39 miles.

The weather today ranged from 13 - 15 degrees Celsius and the wind 20 - 25kph Westerly (Cool). See I told you the weather is crap.

Stop taunting us Frosty .

I would take that any day frosty, it's -3 in the middle of the day at best now with only major roads lacking the snow/ice; lucky beggars!

Just did 10 miles with Poppy on the back on mostly clear roads, but very beautiful views over the Stour Valley at Dedham.

The thaw is beginning here - hopefully I'll be able to do my remaining 140 miles before the end of the year.

And Ian, I'm just 1 mile behind you on mileage for December!

no cycling for me Helen until friday at least....

 

[Auntie Helen]

Aha, I should get ahead tomorrow then!

 

[ianrauk]

Yup, I think I have earned a rest

... bleedin' snow enforced rest

I'm working on updating my miles

 

[vorsprung]

I added some more miles from December yesterday
I am still commuting 50km a day on ice tyres. My commute yesterday took 2h50m instead of the usual 2h20

Was due to ride a 200km route with CTC mates on saturday but for obvious reasons that was called off. I stop work on the 23rd and after that I won't ride much unless there is a miracle thaw and I can get out on my carbon bike

I discovered, walking to work a couple of weeks back, that at minus 15, your snot freezes inside your nose, and you get this weird crackly feeling in the nostrils...

Just thought I'd mention that.

Have ridden today, and will do so on Friday, but that'll only add up to another 10 miles or so - if I have time to upload them before New Year I will, but I have hectic travel plans...

Thank you for sharing that Arch

A nice low gear on the fixie & a 47.5 mile ride around the fens & the hills around the west of cambridge, tried to keep the HR around 150bpm for the whole ride including climbing. Probably go out on the MTB tomorrow but that means riding on platform pedals again.

I really don't know why you put up with it. Those pictures look awful!

You should move over here

We're now 15,000 miles behind not sure how that happened so quickly
I've got a few commutes from last week to add later, but I don't think I'll be able to add much more this year.

It's those cheating Aussies and their climate. We are moral victors, because we've had snow and ice, and I rode a Maximus 2 miles in a blizzard.

Or something.
