Fed up teetering about on ice. I am getting less and less confident of my footing the older I get so just walked up to the top of the town and back down again on the safer pavements. I see reports coming in on people skidding on the roads again this morning. Strangely, it seemed to get slightly milder just as I was nearly home so maybe it will lift and be safer for a better walk later.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning. 3 deg and feels like 1. Dry at the moment but we had spits and spots during the night. Lots more to come though I think.
Stay safe folks.

My bimble yesterday more of a bimble lite a plodding 35.5 miles , weather was good for middle of January, sunny light breeze and a balmy 9 degrees. First ride in 2 weeks due to weather ,family commitments and general lack of get up and go .What is it with some cyclists, the suns out I must go out in shorts and a summer top, saw one yesterday.
Moan time. What lock down . In the spring lockdown 2 main roads I cross over I could have closed my eyes and just carried on , not yesterday. Also the car parks to the National Trust visitor centre at Dunstable Downs were closed , yesterday it was full and the overflow carpark was nearly full.Now I’ve started ,a popular cyclist cafe was operating a hatch service which was encouraging quite a gathering including one group of 4 standing in a close huddle . Then further on ,a group of 4 cyclists 2 wearing the club jersey. I feel better now.

9 degrees would be so good. Bit longer to wait on these sort of temperatures up here I think.
Totally agree that this "lockdown" has a totally different feel to it. Almost a token gesture rather than a real effort.

Most people here with trollies have big 4WD ones for ferry travel. The pick up trucks of the trolley world.
Have said before.....I don't get on with bib shorts. I don't like them and didn't feel any advantage. I find my Endura Pro "waist" shorts very comfy.Last year I bought some bibshorts in a Planet X sale . I checked the size chart they were described as race fit ,I thought I better get the XXL . When they arrived I was so pleased. THEY WERE FAR TOO BIG .
