Sunday mornin' rides.

Do you set your stall out to go at stupid o'clock in the mornin' or do you get up look out the winda see what the weather is like and think I'll go out in a bit?
When my children were children I was the former. Now I have the luxury of being able to pick and choose i fall int the latter.
Where do you fit?

Nice to have a good 4 hours in the legs, home for breakfast and then think what to do with the rest of the day, rather than having a ride in the middle of the day and not being able to make any big plans.
I tend to wait for it to warm up a bit in the winter as the thought of a 2" contact patch on ice does not fill my head with pleasant thoughts!
Surely it's safe to ride over a dusting of snow?
I walked to uni, it would have been far easier to cycle. Plenty of cyclists out on the roads.

Seems like the snow is going to be far less by end of the week, the worst tonight, a ft of snow on the pennines, gonna be a loooooong ride home on friday, probs be walking down hills.
Maybe some B roads.
Are you safe enough for the roads, that's the real question Will!!!!!!!
If I wasn't at work I'd be out, oh to have the life of a student
Course I'm safe enough for the roads lol.
Just the conditions might be mad over the pennines and apparently where I live they have had 6" snow so far so might be worse over the other side.
I drove over to Sheffield when we had snow a few weeks ago, if I were you I'd get the train home on Friday. It's not the safest right now........ It's the idiots that can't drive that you have to watch for.
The advice I was given when learning to ride a motorbike was if you have any doubt about the conditions, don't go.
I plan on setting off at 8 in the morning so have 8 hours to cover 66 miles. Cant afford the train, I'd rather stay here than get the train home at the moment.
I'll jot in a circuit incase the route really is not ridable, then I can just divert back to Manchester, I was looking on BBC travel news and it said the A62 was closed, well thats gone, so must be open again now, and Wednesday and Thursday the snow is supposed to die down.
My main worry is the tricomp tyres, apparently they are slippy in the wet, so was thinking may the Evo CX's have abit more grip to make it slightly safer.
I'm thinking of cycling up the A62 on wednesday just up to the pennines to see what conditions are like then coming back down.
