At 6.30 this morning, I scraped the ice off my seat and mirrors, the snow off the brakes and set off for work.

The coldest and most painful ride I have ever experienced. Lovely views though!

The KLE coped surprisingly well in sub zero temps!

Due to my cover getting nicked/flying off, ive had none in two days of snow.

So thats going to make it even easier to start, obviously

Cheers, I'll take a look around tomorrow.

I've got thermal inners and the bike gloves which are OK, if a little tight with both sets on, they'll last for about 20 minutes riding in this weather but then my finger tips go solid & numb.

I did think about handlebar mits for about 5 seconds, but they look pants so next thought was some heated gloves, trouble is £££££. So some thick overgloves may be the answer

Got your's somewhat later than we did here. It's been nice, dry and sunny for the past day or two. Still the remnants of the snow from earlier in the week in shaded areas but apart from that it's been a good day to ridejust as long as you wrap up.

I want snow.....

I had a fun ride home last night! Still managed to filter through the traffic, wasn't that bad actually. Got the 5 miles home then dropped the bike parking it in my bike yard when the rear wheel slipped as i rode up the pavement no damage though thanks to the snow and R&G's and even the bung only has one tiny scratch still felt a bit of a numpty though!
