Hi all,

Just thought Id come on here for a moan!!

I have been looking forward to a 50 mile ride this weekend (today) but the roads are white over with frost!! :evil:

Its sods law that all week while I have been sat at my desk the roads have been safe with no ice, until Saturday that is when I want to get on my bike!!

Did anyone else have a ride planned today and has had to cancel?

Stick to the main roads in weather like this.

Got a 60 miler round Northallerton way this morning.

Why not come along and join us on a ride round the lanes, leaving from Otley.

Start time is 10:00 a.m. from Otley Chevin Cycles

...small group with at least one of the fairer sex riding.


See White Rose Challenge Training Rides thread for more info.

Just stick to the main a roads, the thing is about the wind, rain etc, is to treat it like a training ride, if you can get through conditions like that imagine how you will feel and perform on a warm sunny summers day.
