2010-01-09 Sat - The Frozen Bridges - Winter Edition - VIII - West to East

I fell off on the ice the other day right square on my elbow and now it's about twice the size of the other one. Was really worried I'd broken something at the time but it's just bruised. I am thinking i may not come along as i don't want a repeat performance especially on said elbow. Lots of the route out west is back streets and me thinks that will be a total ice rink with the weather set to stay in the minuses every night for many nights.

I don't want to sound like a total killjoy/mum/mail reader/piker but we should at least consider postponing this until things thaw out or there could be lots of injuries.
Has anyone reccied the route out west for ice?

This condition is known as 'swellbow'. Hope its not too bad.
