Hello All.
If the bad weather is still with us this Sunday, for safety it may not go ahead. We had to cut last Sundays run short due to the icey roads and lanes plus the sub zero temps getting at fingers & toes. lets see what Sunday brings and i'll take it from there.
Sorry ALANS
looks like it will be a bit warmer tomorrow 3 instead of -4 last Sunday!!!
I think it would pay memebers to stay at home and use the whole day to revise for the MEGGA QUIZ on the 20th. Don't risk getting any fitter, it will only get you hated by every one if you give them a hard time next year. So do the right thing and keep all your friends and revise. Can't write any more as I nearly fell off my rollers ( yes standing on my head ). Les Charnley " Quiz Master Promotions Director".
Me, Woody and Ewart made it to the social club. I wheel spun up Chester Road. Mad the sensible choice and came home.
The footpaths aren't much better, most people are walking on ther roads because it's safer 😡
See you at the Velodrome tomorrow night. At least we'll get some riding in 😀
Good job we didn't go forth as not only would we have super icy roads to contend with but now fog! 😯
Just seen Carol at the gym. She turned up after we left Woody. Jed and Ewart have gone out, sooner them than me. Nice and warm in the gym 🙂
I think she passed me but couldn't be sure was trying stay upright at the time!
Woody yes it was me slipping and sliding along the road! However I did see sense especially after Jed was sliding around the car park on his trike!! 😆

Well done for getting there! 1/2 hour to unlock my shed, and 15 minutes wheel spinning - gave it up as a bad job!
Now if I'd have wheeled my mountain bike out and had a pair of these: http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/16731/Continental_Nordic_Spike_Tyre_120_Spikes
I'd have been alright...
An hour on the turbo got me warm though 🙂
Jeepers guys and gals, you're braver than me... 🙄 I've had cold that last week or so, so not done much. Probably good timing, you wouldn't catch me out in this on skis, never mind a bike !!
Still trying to tie up for a ride with you, but getting defeated at the moment..
need to pay my subs as well... 😳
Take care out there !!
I guess the icy weather put people off meeting yesterday as I was the only one at Hatchmere.
It was very cold, but not much ice about on the roads and I got a respectable 51 miles in, taking in the frosty Frodsham, Helsby, Ellesmere Port, Chester, Saighton, Beeston.
Looks like its warming up a little for the weekend, temperatures are actually going positive.
