Had to bike home in the snow this morning...

...115 miles hudds to cov...pretty damn frightning, we have hills in our pennine village and when you see the gritter sliding down a hill at a 30 degree angle its time to reach for the brown trousers

ill post pictures later of the bike in snow.

wouldn't like to be out in the snow on my bike and must have been the start of your trip as there is no some here

we had snow on the ground, and sleet falling in hudds, it started to snow near to sheffield briefly, and again after leaving tibshelf services...i was cold! my feet were like blocks of ice.

ill post pics tomorrow, will actually remember to do it this time

im back this weekend as well, weather looks ok, -1C friday evening so ill freeze going up

[tobomoto]

Even though the weathers great here I can't ride. 1) cos I don't have a bike road legal and 2) I've just come out of hospital after having an op on my back. I'm walking like john wayne who's just toad hiself so I recon it would bedifficult to get on a bike. So jealous of everyone on a bike right now!

im off back again this weekend...supposed to be -1C...i hope it doesnt rain/snow/sleet on the way, although i have got my Respro Foggy installed now, so at least ill be able to see it all

It was the wind today for me omg it was horrendous coming home!apart from some dick pulling out on me of which I only just missed crashing into him ! The wind pushed me across the road into the kerb ! Thankfully on my gs 500 lol

Wouldn't like to ride in that snow and my bikes tucked away in my kitchen keeping warm

What's that white stuff ?

Does it make countersteering easier ?

as Charlie Sheen knows, white stuff = better time.

luckily it wasnt too cold this weekend, 2-3 C, ill cycle to work on it until the snow starts to properly settle then its off in my "new" rented garage...gonna be a godsend, ive had to keep it on the street for the past couple of months. plus im sharing with another biker so that keeps the cost down to £17.50/mth...not bad for peace of mind, but i dont think there is any lighting in it so ill have to try to figure something out, might see if there is a power-brick somewhere at work to power a few lights...a generator would be ideal, but im not forking out for anything if i can get away with it
