Anyone on Nine Elms Lane / Wandsworth Road this morning? Helicopter hit a crane, and the conditions must be difficult...

The Transpenine was the 'dryest' it's been for ages, dry - read frozen mud. Last night was different, came back out from Manchester down the A34, flicked left at Parrs Wood and joined the TPT from the Didsbury Road, and avoided the muddy section that had me on my face. Very muddy return last night, bike caked in it. Got it cleaned off and re-lubed, but left it in the house to dry out.

Freezing fog and -4C in Cambridge - drivers very well behaved - even had a WVM wait behind me for a while until safe to overtake! Probably my coldest commute so far. I really can't wait for that big flaming ball to return to the sky.

Very cold this morning, still did 13 miles. Only another 9 to hit 300 for the month and all things being equal hope to hit my monthly target of 333.33 by end of the week.
Do not see long lines of slow moving traffic in Swindon(except due to roadworks, a crash or Xmas shopping) but this morning a couple of miles of stopped or very slow moving traffic which I had the great pleasure of filtering past
.
A bit cold, -3, but nothing to write home about.

Crapola ride this morning, got up late, left late, exactly halfway bike felt weird so stopped checked the rear tyre still up, started off again and realised it was the front tyre flat. I reckon it is only my second ever front puncture. Took off the raceblade switched the tubes which was tough as I couldn't feel my fingers, got going but the raceblade was rubbing all the way. I was frozen as all the sweat had cooled during the pitstop and I just couldn't get my legs going for the last 7 miles. One of my toughest mentally commutes for a long while.
Felt exhausted and frozen when I got in. My HR barely got over 100 bpm on the second half.

Chose to go along Mayor Walk again as its flat and well maintained, etc I got two iffy OTs that I laughed at but on the whole drivers were very patient; especially as at -4deg I was going slow and therew was no way I was moving over.

It was the worst I have done - The previous Sleet episode I think was 2008 ish when I didn't have any overshoes or headgear.
