Snow! Anyone else braving it at the moment?

I rode home in the snow last night and did OK. One or two slippery moments but really not bad at all. Just pondering if I should chance it again today, or walk.

Anyone else out in the snow?

No, I've got no working bike at the moment as I broke my rear hub. Usually snow riding is fun until the point that it turns into ice and then it's very hairy. Good time for skid practice.

I rode in this morning in the end. Didn't regret it :) The main roads were fine, if a little slushy in places.

Definitely been practicing the odd skid!

This evening was lethal. All that slush has turned to ice now.

Might risk the MTB at some point, getting used to walking again meanwhile though (and working from home).

Riding fixed in the snow and ice is what it was built for! (Apart from track racing...)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
