podge; the alpine climate of crookes is hard at work again.

toast: peanut butter? / marmite? / honey? / blackcurrant jam?

tea or hot chocolate?

Cheers guys. The A619 was blocked out of chesterfield by lorries that gave up but after we turned around and found another route it, it was a really good ride. Hard work and slow going but there's something live about riding in those conditions and surviving.

Adam, considering I can pretty much see your house from mine I'm always surprised by the difference in climate. Leeds however had it worse than us, I ended up trying to do handbrake turns outside ikea
