Thanks BSRUIn this weather it can be a difficult choice between studded and un-studded tyres, the roads are dry but you know any water and it will be ice. Such as the guy this morning using hot water to defrost his windows, lots of lovely fresh water on the road which will turn to sheet ice very quickly. Hope your bike and injuries are better soon.


Thanks HLAB – my Garmin registered a low of only -2.5°C this morning, although I guess that might not be 100% accurate. Like yesterday, the roads were clear, although there were a few icy patches on some sections. Really frustrated with myself for coming off, and if I could bend my leg far enough to kick myself, I would.Sorry to read that Mr Mac. I was a bit dubious about using a path my self this morning but apart from one solid ice bend, it wasn't too bad but it only reached -3deg overnight it was probably a lot colder in the central belt![]()
The biggest lesson I've learned this morning though is to pay attention and concentrate – I always do, but was clearly somewhat distracted and slightly phased following my off, as I would never normally be in a road position to allow the subsequent "near-dooring" experience.
