First ride of 2010 on the 2nd. Perfect blue skies, frozen trails, good company, too many punctures (solved with gaffer tape when a split in my rear tyre was found – quite hard to spot as it was pretty dark by then!). Now at home ill in bed. Bah.

no thanks to the x bike when its icy, mtb is bad enough never mind them skinny tyres 😕

Cross bikes rock in the ice 🙂

looks like fun

i went out on the cross bike yesterday too, gave up after 20 miles though as gears, brakes and me had frozen up and the light was fading.

cross bikes do indeed rock in snow and ice, far better than an mtb.

miles of frozen hoof prints don't rock though.

A pic from my ride:

Nice pic Mike. We mainly had to deal with frozen bike tyre tracks which was a refreshing change from frozen hoof prints 🙂

doesn't seem to be much ice, snow covered ice from this morning

Remarkably I did manage to ride through (most) of this…

For the start I thought it was the "other" Barnes and I was confused not to see legions of others pushing bikes 😉
