Aaahhhhhh – threw open the curtains this morning to a covering and continued snow fall. I live in London so it isn’t much fun and no lovely country tracks for my mtb, crap. WHo else has been thwarted by the weather?

well there’s no denying it’s bloomin cold – but no real snow in the Glasgow area since Saturday – roads are clear and there’s nothing as exhilarating as sweating buckets while your ears & toes freeze

Did fairly well and went out for 5 hours on Sunday morning in freezing conditions and whilst it snowed constantly on me. However, still waiting on the feeling in my feet to return after going through what could only be descibed as a lake in the middle of the road (and it went ankle high) within the and having my shoes and 2 pairs of socks freeze… Maybe some oershoes would come in use 😕

Snow in March isn’t that
Snow in March isn’t that unusual. It was my daughters birthday on Sat and it isn’t the first time it’s snowed then. Worse two or three years ago. She likes the snow but it was a pain this week as it means her semi-final has been cancelled for the third week in a row. Just watched some cycling on TV and Internet, didn’t even use my exercise bike, just not in the mood.

I just can’t believe that it was 20 degrees hotter this time last year, nothing is normal any more.

No snow here, South
No snow here, South West.

Bloody cold though so went on the off roader yesterday at Ashton Court. FREEZING to start but once going got really hot, great to see people riding around whilst steaming…..

Got really muddy and had a great time in the woods – regretting it this morning though – stiff as a board.

Saw some lads on the road from Bristol towards WSM and they looked frozen, all wrapped up like Russian soldiers.

Have fum in the white stuff!!!

Regards,

Trikeman. 😉

I’m in London too. I got on a couple of layers and went out and did a hour through the city today. It was terrific. There wasn’t much traffic and I just bombed around going wherever I felt like.

However having said that, today was meant to be the day I was test riding a couple of bikes to see which one I was going to buy. The Pinnacle Dolomite (as reviewed recently in Road CC) didn’t get delivered so i ahve to wait another week before I get a new bike>

Out on Monday in the snow. About a foot deep either side of the car tracks left for us (yes they have their uses cars do) Yesterday and today not bothering. All roads in immediate area impassable. At least a foot of snow with huge drifts. Had to dig my way out of my mum and dads. Londoners haven’t a clue 👿 👿

Just got back from a ride to the north east coast, tynemouth loop is 40 kms for me. No snow but a really cold, biting wind that made it a real chore. Now sat with a coffee feeling smug. I was going to say its about time you southern shandy bashers got some proper weather , but I wouldn’t be that naughty.

We’ve had none stop snow here for a week now, heavy and drifting, couple of the highest road passes have been getting closed and opened. But everything else is running fine 😀

I usually just blast some intervals on a few of laps around Regents Park or do a few hill repeats on Swains Lane to keep the legs ticking over. All in all it’s been a miserable March.
