If our road is anything to go by: lots.

Stay in bed or maybe take the MTB out and be childish. Either works.

Put it this way, driving home from work today along the lanes it's that tricky combination of snow on top of already frozen roads. Slid round one bend and watched in the mirror as the following car completely lost it, slowly spun 180, and landed in a ditch.

Anyone going out on a road bike tomorrow needs their head examining.

I was on my mountain bike coming home from school and even then I was slipping round corners and skidding when I lightly touch the brakes... :shock:

That's the time when the people who only ride a road bike realise their mistake

MTB fun this weekend :D

Was hoping to, but my street is snowed/icy, and I don't see my car making it to the bottom ..
Shame as I just realised I've so far done 5 races of the minimum 6 to count for the league, and had a chance of finishing 3rd if doing well at this one.
You?

that's a huge shame, man....surely you can sort something out? i'm going down. they are predicting more snow tomorrow so not sure if they'll run it but from my small experience of cyclocross the people involved are suckers for punishment so i'm thinking they probably will?

oh yeah, also....where was everyone today? you brits need to show more faith in your municipal services...clear roads (apart from lambs green...i had to turn around...and boxhill...the snow was hard packed so i managed to ride it anyway) and no cars anywhere. i think today's numbers make it the smallest club run ever?
