The gritters have been out tonight. Says 2 degrees above in the morning but I don't think I will be taking any chances after Sunday morning. Just had a nice bath and bruising is just starting around the scrape so to land on it again would be agony. Maybe walk the dog first and wait till later.

Ouch...
you definitely need those marathon winters for your mtb...

@Mo1959 Extreme close up..... Hope it clears up quickly

Is that your head?

Ouch, that looks painful @Mo1959. Hope it heals soon.

Is that your head?

No, side of my knee. Right on the bony bit. On top of a scar where I did the same thing last year. Obviously don't learn from my mistakes!

Water into the garage (where bike is stored) soon, have strung up the bike

Gosh, hope the level drops soon. It must be very worrying living in a flood prone area. Glad you have your priorities right though and have the bike up out of harms way

This house was built in 1948 above level of 1947 floods (worst known)
However margin in 2003 was wrrying and it's supposed to get to same level
Neighbours are packing in anticipation of leaving, their house is much lower

Hope the flooding stops soon @Stonechat

Haven't been out much this week with constraints due to work, being away on 3 days training, so had planned on going out tonight. Don't fancy taking a route through full rush-hour traffic as a leisure ride so I'm getting a free list into town to pop into Evans to try on some fancy bibtights and then buy from the cheapest online retailer at a later date.

Was looking at waterproof gloves, but after trying the ski gloves I got from ALDI with my new bike I believe I'll be okay once I get used to using them.

Great speed @morrisman

Hope your house and belongings are safe Stonechat. Not been on here for a few days, hope the funeral went well and everything starts settling down for you.
Take care
