The Winter Warmer was fun, we were very lucky with the weather and the relative lack of snow/ice on the roads as everything was frozen solid. During the ride from billingshurst to Dial Point (9 miles) it was -10 and skully and spybot's bottles froze up. There were a few dodgy bits ice wise - the worst being on a hill where a stream was flowing across the road, leaving sheet ice either side. I think we all got a bit of rear wheel spin on that stretch. Great to get out on such a nice sunny day though.
The food was great as promised. I stuffed my face with at least six different kinds of cake. When you got back to Dial Post village hall there was tea, soup and a copious selection of home made cakes. This was good as Skully's friend was struggling a bit and eventually cut the route short to head to billingshurst station, which meant he got in about 3.45. Spybot and I had been there since 1.45, stuffing our faces and drinking tea.
