Tales from today's commute....

Wow
Just awful but when I left it was okay just wet
But 2 sections of the busway were an ice rink and stumbled into o e and nearly had an off

Wow the buttocks don’t half clench!

Anyway saved 7 quid by not going by bus
Winner

Lots of extra cars on the road yesterday and today. I guess it's that people don't trust the train when there is the slightest frost on the ground. Don't blame them (trains here are AWFUL and constantly delayed/cancelled in anything but perfect summer weather).
Not very enjoable having 40% more cars on the road though. less experienced drivers at that.

Be careful everyone, it’s very icy in places, I have seen several accidents.

I bottled it and took the car

Snow was brilliant, bits compacted by cars less so.....

Got the mountain bike out this morning, so might try the off road route on the way home tonight.

Well that was a workout. A good 2" of snow. Granny ring all the way. Passing cars with wheels spinning for an hour. 6.6 mi/hr average. I did stop twice to push cars out of the snow though

Car day, lying snow and ice equals lazy day. A few years back I would of cycled into prove a point. Feel I don`t need to these days.

There is very, very little snow here - and on the main the very light icing sugar dusting has totally disappeared.

I have installed Strava on my phone this year, largely to keep my own record of how far I cycle - it's all private but I am beginning to get competitive with myself.

This morning was an ideal combination of light luggage (just one pannier today), still air, relatively little traffic and traffic-light luck so I was certain that I'd got a PB on at least two segments.

Got to work - I hadn't started it tracking.

No snow at all in Londinium Town.
We had a smattering last night but that had all disappeared by this morning, though it was a little icy in places. But nothing to really worry about.
Damn chilly but nice and sunny shiney blue sky morning,

Bit of snow South of Cambridge, so icy rutting on the road, Schwalbe snow tyres so not as exciting as it would be on the fixie with road tyres. Did miss leg braking though.

I am just hoping it will dry out for tomorrow!

Yeah not much snow at all. But the resultant big freeze meant Olympic Park paths and roads were horrendous.

Managed to slide off less than 25 metres from work . Slight rip on the less than 4 week old wind/waterproof jacket . Aw well pikey repairs tonight ..

Dont think it will up here and will freeze as its to be colder ! Still I will by on the bike tomorrow, either whole way or via the train.

Getting better down here!

Hardly any snow. Starting to feel better- still dark when I leave and get back but it's pretty light at the end of the journey in and at the start of the journey home.
