Perfect morning for me. 20 miles, 90% offroad. Ground still frozen but air above freezing, and as it was so dry when it froze at the weekend, no huge worries about black ice. Set off in darkness and rode through the sunrise into work. The sun, mist and clouds worked together to exaggerate the scale of the Pentlands so they looked like a proper mountain range, and the half frozen canal was confusing the ducks and coots.
Sadly it’s stayed above freezing so probably a pretty sloppy run home tonight. But still, it’s better than getting the bus!
