Got all my clobber on this morning to ride the old railway trials out of Derby on my MTB .Sheet ice on all the roads leading off the housing estate .No go :x A broken hip or worst....It is just not worth it.

    Much the same here.

    The main roads were clear so I was going to go for a ride and then a swim (my new keep-fit over-winter regeim), but by the time I got changed it started snowing again. There's now about 2" in the last hour and it shows no sign of letting up.

    I swore I'd never, ever do it. I hate the things, they're utterly pointless and mind numbing. But now I hear that someone in my street has a "bought in a fit of enthusiasm, hardly ever touched" turbo in his garage. I just might...

    I'm now climbing the walls; just two shortish outings on the MTB last week, away the weekend at a family function with no chance to ride :x

    I put aside 3 hours today then a faulty washing machine and other crap kiboshed my plans - no snow here but now it's giving -5oC and fog tomorrow, but if humanly possible I'm out on the roadbike, before I go nuuuuuuuuuuts!

    Don't know what's wrong with you lot! Did 8.5 hours last two weeks, no problem at all...(though it helps having a world class indoor track on your doorstep!) Actually did about 2.5 hours on my MTB along some snowy tracks under blue skies. Same again today.
