I'm Dreaming of a non-White Christmas

I've an enforced 11 days off work coming up over Christmas / New Year. Fingers crossed for rideable weather - no snow and no ice (please).

It would be great to get a solid block of training in. I've been unable to do the last 2 morning's group rides because of ice risk :-(

    agreed - fell off today at the first corner on a sheet of black ice :(

    hoping to get a good block in myself as well.....

    Turn the corner, rub my eyes and hope the world will last...

    Bloomin WC and Majorca weather! :idea:
  • BBC reackons the weather is slowly getting warmer in the lead upto Xmas, so hopefully it will carry right through to new year, temps are suppose to be around 8-9 Degrees, but with this comes plenty of rain, I'd rather get my waterproofs wet than break my face on some ice though.

    Well the long range forecast was for temperatures below average in December and above average in January & Febraruy so looks like the first bit was right. Let's hope the next 2 bits prove to be right. In which case you will probably get to use the those waterproofs regularly from April to October as punishment :D
