Rode up to the lake district on Friday night from London. Weather conditions horrible, freezing cold, wet, rain, salt, ice. Took me 6 hours because I had to stop so much to keep unthawing from the cold. Now got to do it all again to get home. At least it'ss in the daytime and not in the pitch dark. Thinking about cutting across from Manchesater to Derby so I can do the Cat and Fiddle road through to Matlock Bath. But it depends on the weather, got racetecs on and the roads are slippery, maybe it will not be fun.

Trying to get any heat into Racetec in this weather is just about impossible. Good luck Bic but you'd have been better off with 2CTs mounted.

32DegC here and rain most afternoons now its that season. Its nice riding in the rain but without freezing your goolies off eh.
