  • Chances of black ice in Kent tomorrow? Didn't head out that way today but seen lots of pictures of flooded roads (in Surrey + Hertfordshire, but still) and temps dipping below freezing tonight.

    I came a cropper in Jan this year and really don't want a repeat tomorrow. Current thoughts are head in to Regents like ever other fucker but would really rather avoid.

  • I used to do that. Grim.
    Then I'd ride out the other end of the commute to hillingdon and do laps. Grim.

    Both are better options than having to wipe your arse left-handed because you've got a broken collarbone.

  • Very high if temperatures are low enough. I was there yesterday and the roads were very wet. Although the problem for us wasn’t ice but rather the reflection of the low sun was blinding. Can feel the strain on my eyes today.

  • I think you'd be okay if you stick to the slightly busier roads, so go out via Biggin Hill rather than up Layhams, stick to the quieter A and B roads rather than going down the single track lanes etc., as those roads will have been gritted and had some traffic on them. The sun is out too at the moment, which tends to clear any ice, even if it is weak.
