Fairly comfortable ride in here today. Chilly but not super-cold (about 1C for most of the ride, moderate wind).

Very cold and gloomy ride in through minimal slush on the roads and desultry snow in the air.
Sun's out now, so might have to go and look for some proper snow in the hills again on the way home :-)

Had to go to work again today.
The first part of the "medium" commute (I overslept) was gloomy again...
Typically it then brightened up as I was riding the last kilometre or so.
Apart from being called upon to sell a couple of bikes I wasn't really needed, so I had to occupy myself tidying the workshop, fixing bikes and helping a client.
It's tough, but someone's got to do it...

This morning's ride far nicer than expected, barely a hint of drizzle and actually warm. Not looking forward to this evening though.

WFH today, but if I had been in the office, there is no way I'd have been on the bike with the gale blowing here. Next office day is Wednesday, and by then it is supposed to be reasonably calm.

You must have fallen lucky, not nice out there. WFH today.

It was nice for me too, a few gusts but nothing too bad. I got to work dry. I left the house at 0730.
I am sure I will regret it later though as it does look to have turned.
New pedals and bar tape were great and I just need to tweak the handlebars by a few degrees.
I did also fit my fork mount light bracket, but managed to cause a rub on the front wheel from the mudguard it was only tiny, making it sound like I was on an ebike.

Unexpected item in the cycling area.. I paused and moved all three boxes.
Plus a closer than comfortable encounter with this tractor.

I took the longish route today, about 12k.
It took about an hour with stopping to take pictures, I think I'll use that route again.

Even yesterday evening was better than expected, dry for 3/4 of the route home, just a little wet on the final segment. Today cold clear and sunny with big puddles remaining. The forecast for hometime isn't great, but it only needs a short gap to be dry when I'm riding.

Check's forecast... At least my mudguards got cleaned on the inside with the puddles. New wheels on this morning, with slick tyres. Much nicer rolling.

No ride in today as WFH but the mudguard rubbing issue started again after multiple attempts to do a temp adjustment, I ended up removing the lamp bracket and fitting the guard correctly.
