1st ice of the year down here in Hampshire. Managed to come a cropper on some black ice on the way to work this morning but enjoyed the crispiness off road...

Left the bike at home this morning as it looked a bit bloody treacherous, and the minor roads i ride in on wouldn't have been gritted. Lovely though. I fancy getting out tonight

Plenty of grit out for me today, apart from one or two sphincter tightening patches, but I survived unscathed.

couple of slidey bits,
more danger from the volvo driving bint in the shades and the frozen windscreen, who forgot whose right of way it is on a roundabout.

She didn't forget mate, she didn't care.

I love this season of postage stamp sized holes in frozen windscreens, as a certain frisson of excitement to the daily commute.

I had a chap last night, follow me through the village for about a mile, plenty of places to overtake, good visability, seemed happy to sit behind me. Then, just as we approach a blind brow, I pull out to overtake another cyclist, he suddenly decides to try and overtake me, and toots his horn at me, annoyed that he had to pull right out into the other lane. He was miles behind me when I looked back to check. Gah, motorists, ****ing muppets.
