This evening I went over to Horwich for a meeting of Horwich CC, of whom I am now a member. On the way there there was some slush on the roads from the earlier snow. As we got ready to leave two of them tried to give me a lift home but I couldn't wait to get out in the snow. To be fair after seeing a car crash - they were fine, I scooted over to check! I did wonder! I would have loved to have been off road but I was on my road bike. No chance of clipping in, banging the pedals with the cleats doesn't clear the ice as effectively as on my off-road shoes.
I had to stop at Asda to get some milk on the way back and I was told twice by staff to be careful.
But I loved it! Hope its still there tomorrow!
You are nuts Trio, but we love you!
ReplyDeleteBe careful on a road bike in the snow. Cars tend to do silly things.
