<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It had to be done! <\/p>\n
Knackered wrist or not the “heavy snow” forecast came true and I was out there!<\/p>\n
Summary:<\/p>\n
– Snow is more slippery than I thought, but so much fun.. crunch.. crunch..<\/p>\n
– Grit stings bare skin<\/p>\n
– It was the coldest I’ve ridden in I think. The wind helped that.<\/p>\n
– Knee warmers perhaps not best choice, leg warmers a better idea<\/p>\n
– I ended up more black than white, so did the Raleigh<\/p>\n
– Skidding the fixed on snow and ice is much easier<\/p>\n
– Mudguards would’ve been useful<\/p>\n
– Full-finger gloves instead of trashed fingerless ones would’ve been clever. COLD!<\/p>\n
– Can you tell I’ve not adapted to cold weather yet?<\/p>\n
– Snow-covered cities are pretty<\/p>\n
– White vans and 4WDs don’t drive any slower<\/p>\n
– Saw 6 or 7 riders out. One guy was in a tshirt! Hmmf.. and I thought I was ‘ard..<\/p>\n
– My shins were black. My thighs were bright red.<\/p>\n
– It’s 10.30am and the snow continues to fall outside my window<\/p>\n
“Nice weather for it” I said to one rider at the lights. <\/p>\n
He said it was lucky that everyone in London drives a 4×4 otherwise they might not make it in. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
