Yeah, that's quite often soaking wet after it's been raining even a small amount, you probably met the melt water that froze over night. When it's icy out I tend to go round Caxton End & rejoin from Caxton Rd.

Not cycling this week, too much ice and cold wind... Hmm fair weather cyclist
Never occurred to me that it might be better to go via a ford ... ;-)

Sounds as if your pride was the injured partyI fell of at least 3 times (Once in front of work colleges in full leotard!)
. Not commuting by bike today but I did have a quick go of the clips last night - didn't fall off but I can see I'm going to have to be careful. Cheers for all the reassurance!

All this talk of ice reminds me of a letter in this month's Viz. The writer suggets that local authorities should paint all roads white, we can all see the black ice easily!

To All Dog walkers.....
Please all stay off the Trans Pennine between Stockport and Parrs Wood between the hours of 7:45am and 8:15am TOMORROW.
Bombing run no3 will be attempted to better my KOM, and the dust kicked up by my tyres is a hazard to your health !
Only one hold up by dog walkers today - had three lots yesterday.

Nice and sunny here in manchester, no snow but still got that biting wind. cycled the longer way home tonight, was kind of happy I did.
I've been using the mountain bike to get to work so just take it easy, and use strava to track the miles I've done,
Got on one segment which is just over a mile long, and with the wind behind me I knocked 5 seconds off my PB, so happy with that.
Ps. I was looking more like a ninja today, had my balaclava and neck warmer on to stay warm, all you could see was the whites of my eyes.

Super smooth commute to work just now, as I'd adjusted by new BB yesterday evening to stop the axle wobble (I'd left the pre-load cap on the left crank a tiny bit loose). So the pedaling was as smooth as a baby's bum!
