I think I could probably get there, it's all downhill. Easier if I had a sledge! But maybe not so easy to get homeUncompromising extremist0

I had an awesome ride in this morning.
No cars about anywhere + most roads have not been gritted + mainly downhill commute = Big Skidz! 8)0 -
I just been out with a ruler, 14 inches of snow on my road. That'll make pedalling trickyUncompromising extremist0

Awesome commute this morning once I'd made it to the main road. Very little traffic, heating on 25°, tunez, warm & toasty lurrrrrrrrvely...0

I live 0.7miles away from where I'm working this aft, so if more snow arrives I'll be walking.0

I'm not going into work today. But that's mainly due to me having the day off rather than the weather...0

Today I will be changing the oil in my forks for something that doesnt turn to jelly below 5deg C.
Then I will be a man and go for a frosty, fast ride.I like bikes and stuff0 -
My job involves driving a 3 tonne, rearwheel drive, automatic van round narrow streets....they will expect me in because massive supermarket chains dont care about anything but money.
No chance of making it though.0 -
I managed the 7 miles to work with no real problems. The roads are perfectly clear, so I don't think anyone has an excuse round this way really.
I did manage to fall off on some hidden cobbles though, so that was fun It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

Unfortunately 1 mile from work so no excuses today, although a quiet day for the obvious reasons.0

I've just been out for a walk, which was nearly long enough to have got me to work. I might not mention that tomorrow.Uncompromising extremist0

Weather was fine this morning at 6. 6.45 comes and the snow/hail/sleet/thunder and lightning/tornado sweeps in, yea, that's right, a freaking tornado in Falmouth!!!!! Mental. Then went for an epic snowey ride on work time as the delivery driver wouldn't take the van out to deliver peoples prescriptions, so it was down to me and my dj bike with bald tires, 25psi did the job though 2019 Bianchi Oltre XR4

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE! Are we the only ones not getting snow in the shithole country?!
If I dont get snowed off at least once this week i'm stealing a plow and TAKING some from up north. :evil:0 -
Still no snow in Blackpool so I'll be in work tomorrow
but on the plus side it means i should be able to drive to Manchester on Sunday to get my new bike 0 -

I got to work at 06:25. I was fuming all the way, if it wasn't for the drivers not really driving, it was pedestrians walking on the road.
I mean, C'mon I live in a small town. The same lazy drivers who beep at me in the fine weather were holding me up today. Scared 2 guys sheetless by riding straight between them, the gap was big enough and they were walking in a straight line so I took a gamble.fly like a mouse, run like a cushion be the small bookcase!0 -

Well, that seemed to work:
A good 2-3" when I woke up at 5:30, binned work off but we were all up we decided to drive to the park and play in the white stuff:
What he lacks in arms he makes up for in....
Got back about 20 mins ago and it hasn't stopped so it's about 4-5" deep in some places now. Hopefully tomorrow we'll be off again and I can get out on the bike.

we have snow, it isnt enough to stop me from getting to work but consider the fact that my job involves burying bombs for people to find, the snow makes it difficult to do succesfully, so im having a lovely day off.0

meh.
i have 18 inches of shnee in my back garden..but the gritters must have dumped the contents of bonneville on the roads, because they are just slushy.

Still nothing in Blackpool, some re-frozen slush on the car this morning and frost on the ground, but no snow!!!0

Took the bike to work today, was pretty heavy going! Probably would've been easier walking.0
-
Yeah, had to do a bit of portage today, just no prospect of riding extended bits. Most of the main roads were pretty clear though, I'd have been a danger on the road bike but the rigid mountain bike did the job. Probably about 1/10th as many cars on the roads as usual but since that 1/10th was going constantly sideways it all balances out.
Man I love snow, but this is slightly too much love!Uncompromising extremist0 -
Looks like I'll be walking to work tomorrow anyway!0
