I still am scarred by one winter ride.

Minus 5. Freezing fog. 5mm of verglas - solid clear ice - all over the bike. Thumbs which became wood.

Yep….seared on the mind

This man is one of my true heros. He was only 22 when doing this. Now that's what i call a winter ride. Changing tires at minus 35

Thetford 3rd Jan Aftermath - riding in a winter wonderland

It was a fantastic day. Thank you to everyone that braved the sub-zero temperatures, we were rewarded with some great trails and winter wonderland views. Counting 5 traffic accidents due to the ice on the A14 and A11 travelling to Thetford todays ride was going to be an epic just to arrive in...

Building up my fitness on my Technogym indoor bike and Concept 2. Thankfully past the painful saddle stage so starting to enjoy the fake outdoor rides. Hoping for some real snow and ice riding this winter though

Leading to this infamous picture

and yes, there is a zaskar and no, it did not survive, mech hanger number 3 was required. Luckily my mate was up and about and allowed us use of the jet wash at his garage






So, a winter bike for the local trails is a road bike
