Stupidly offered to collect my girlfriend from the local station last night as she'd had a late night survey, got about 2 minutes down the road then had full power shut down. Too slippy/flat to bump start so with the help of a passer by managed to get it onto the side of the road and had to leave it. Lying in bed not being able to sleep i realised what i'd done wrong so i jumped on the mountain bike and headed off into the snow. Made it back to the car and turned everything electrical off (lights/radio/heaters...) and managed to fire it up, threw the bike in the back and proceeded to drive back home. I won't go into the driving details but i made it home without seeing a soul, and felt like an absolute winner/scumbag.
Ride in this morning was glorious.
