Melting like mad the snow here, supposed to freeze tonight though so I wouldn't go out until the afternoon if I where you.

Well even though there's not much snow here I didn't fancy chancing it on possibly icy roads so I decided to go for a walk instead, up Bredon Hill. It's about 1000ft and fairly steep (12% average gradient). The last time I walked up was before I started cycling and I huffed and puffed my way up, this time I actually jogged part of the way.
Took some photos on my phone so not great quality especially considering the conditions but thought I'd upload a few:
As you can see from the snowdrift it was pretty deep in some places, around 3 or 4 feet at the top. Mostly it was just a few inches though.

Very cold today, and that wind did NOT help. However the new Jersey which arrived yesterday from wiggle did. I could have used a base layer but for most of the ride I was comfortable.

Well done on the ride and for all who braved the cold! I still feel like crap so might go for a quick spin tomorrow or leave it until Monday and commute into work. Been nearly a week off cycling and I dont want to lose my fitness but I want to get better. On the plus side 75 trip from Reading to Brighton = sorted

I know how you feel, but my motivation is 'If I don't do it now, I'll have to do it later' and that normally hits the spot. I would say GET OUT but it's all down to you.

Awful weather, though it is getting better here in Leicester, most of the snow has gone off the roads, but it looks like it is going to be icy tomorrow.

I've not been feeling well a flu type thing. Going out will make it worse in the end, as frustrating as it is I know I'm better resting until I feel better.

I just got a new summer jersey delivered today. I have a question about jerseys. This is my first full zipper one. It looks nice and fits ok but the zipper is on the wrong side.
The pull is on the left side, a girl zipper! 
Is this common? It is a Garneau jersey and says Men's on the tag. I may have to return this.

You sure it isn't inside out?
Edit that, pull should be on the left hand side
Anstey lane mate, It'll be a 15 mile round trip so should be ok.
This weather getting me down thats all.
