Very slushy roads here in Newcastle, but being on the MTB gave me a bit of confidence. Got a blizzard in my face on the way in. On the way home I had to dismount and walk across the town moor as the shared path was in such a state that I could get no traction.
All but one of the drivers I encountered were extremely patient and courteous. The exception was the Merc driver who passed me close and fast in order to beat me into a pinch point.

Went for the off road ride home to stay away from the traffic as much as possible, TPT was fine except for the usual muddy section near Parrs wood, saw fossy (more accurately saw his T6) 
Bike's in a right state already and it's only Monday

I went down a stretch of pavement and both wheels were going in different directions to each other. The guy in front didn't seem to have the same problem which I found odd. Very dicey on the side roads. Slippery slush! Glad to get back tonight.

Mine is in a mess to, really muddy in places. Nearly fell off on the TPT near Brinny, bike decided it wanted to leave the trail, ended up dismounting.
Hope I didn't blind you when I covered the 3xT6 with my hand....

Standard commute for me. There's always one.

I ended up walking near Parrs wood, Marathon winters and mud don't really mix.
Not blinded, had just stopped a minute or so earlier to put my cap on as my eyes were getting pelted with the sleet, wasn't sure it was you until we'd pretty much passed each other, should know by the light really

"Filters"? I think you'll find that one was pure speeeeeeeed
Yeah they never seem to think that far ahead. I'm sure this is a discussion that has never happened on this website before though mate, hehe

My dad works from home too. However, when he does need to go into the office (like on the ocassional Friday), he has to travel to Manchester or London.
It makes life easier being at home as he can collect my brother from school and do things in the house.
