I hope you didn't get hurt. Staying alert is something I don't do very well sometimes but I have been lucky so far. Just hang in there.

(this is coming from someone who hasn't been on their bike in probably about a week or more )

I cried like a baby when I realized how hard it is for me to find a spoke to replace the broken one on my older set of wheels and how much it cost to have one sent to me that may or may not work.

Thank you I'm just a twat lol! But it just I've been cycling in the road a week now....

Last night's 22 miler ride out temp averaged 0.3c, we actually saw another cyclist out for the first time in ages
Today I went out around 11am, all was calm with the remains of hard frost 0.5c, lots of ice on the trails, sheets of black ice even at 2pm, although it had warmed up to a sweltering 2.9c (ok maybe not Caribbean sweltering) but the wind started to blow a gale and the temps felt like it was in minus figures. quite a few out today as well, a large group of retired old guys out on their brand new mtb's.

Went out to do a test run on a Strava 10 mile TT segment, only for the Garmin to lose reception literally 5 seconds from the end. Ah well, it was very windy so my speed would have been rather low.

It registered me doing 76.5mph once it recovered

wasn't that slow then, or was that a tail wind.

If I lose any more weight I'll be going airborne in tomorrows wind

Some tail wind to give top speed of 76mph !

(Strava has been blocked at work hence the RWGPS link)

Snowing here and temperatures dropping. Just walking tomorrow will be tough enough.

ok my ride today had a lot of stop start laps ect... (the one on strava is stitched together) but the avg was 14.13 avg for the month is 14.71 my slowest since May 2013, however I only have 123 miles to get to 6,000 miles, not sure if I can be bothered with 10,000km

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Having said that though, when I compare my difficult score its up from 94.5 last month to 108.5 this month almost 2ft a mile more, from 37.6 to 39.5 not sure if this would make over 1/2 mph difference. Mind you it is much colder, also than last Dec (from ride data)

Looks like Cumbria will be -4C tonight (which usually means another 2 or 3 lower in the sticks) and you will be at least -8C so prob' double figures.

Has Mutley got crampons?

Lol...........no she had a wee skid this morning! I was wearing my ice spike thingies. Great invention. Will be wearing them again in the morning by the looks of it.
