Yep....another cold one. Put my ice grippers on again to walk the dog. It's really our scheme that doesn't get touched and gets really bad. Wasn't too bad once I got away from here. Didn't go far though.

Hope you had a good night.

Yep much better last night. Got about 3 hrs, so don't feel as crap this morning and currently the sun is shining on the rooms wall which is really nice!

Woke up this morning and the sun was shining but the cars were iced over, was going to give it a miss but then remembered how quiet it's been in here recentmy so popped out for10 miles.

First time on the road bike for a month and forgot how bad the brakes are!

Haven't had a go on a sledge for years. Lol. Probably best not to knowing me.
Starting to get slight withdrawals having not done serious exercise all week. Just not worth risking it. Mind you, over 8 miles walking most days isn't too bad I suppose.

You're doing well then Mo.

I am only walking a couple of miles a day - not been on the bike for a month or so now plus Fells have been crappy last couple of weeks so I am feeling unhealthy!

It's really chucking it down out there now with big fat flakes - starting to wonder if we'll get out of the village for the dreaded Morries Weekend Trip.

I use these even on easy mountain terrain when I can't be bothered with wearing proper winter boots & crampons:

They are pretty effective though so do me fine.
I think I will need them on this afternoons walk just to get out of the scheme then I think I might slip them off and carry them. Don't want to wear the spikes out on the hard roads.

A fortnight since last decent ride, actually going out again tomorrow. Still much to do here, but really need a release for pent up frustration etc

 

[13 rider]

Its been 3 months since a bought my bike short spin out toady and I managed to pass the 400 mile mark I also have noticed its been a least 5 rides since I've had to use my bottom gear and still doing the same climbs must be getting fitter .the ride today was cold but it lovely sunshinestrange to read about snow elsewhere

 

[Big_Dave]

Managed 40 miles today, riding's been a bit tough since the cold spell (don't know if it's just me but I'll blame the cold), lost few mph av speed over last few weeks but who cares, miles are miles whatever the speed.

 

[morrisman]

Seems my mojo has been rediscovered, after a few weeks of not really fancying riding I have done just short of 100 miles* this week which means I'm now only 96 miles short of my 4500 target for the year. Other notable event is clicking over 3000 miles on my Defy 2.

Yesterday's ride

*One of the downsides of collecting data is that you are ALWAYS just short of something however far you ride, this weeks target, this months target, particular bikes mileage, oh the joys of being marginally OCD.

Went on a 40 mile ride this morninghttp://www.strava.com/activities/229313241

Just the one not too demanding hill

42.4 miles @ a slow 14.4 - guess the slow speed is partly due to the cold

1453 feet climbed

Good to get out again

Just got back from a trip to Box hill to complete this months century. While repairing my own bike (crud mudguards by name and nature), I was asked to fix some ladies broken chain. She picked the right person to ask with the number of tools I carry

I agree with that assesment, I'm shattered
