Last ride of the year... went for a run to the Ponderosa Café. Only took a couple of photos, was much busier around there than I expected. Loads of people sledging down the hills opposite the cafe and out playing with their dogs who were loving it.

Was a bit chilly though, the water on the outside of my visor was freezing over by the time I got up there - that made things interesting.

Only saw one other bike in the area, a Norton 850. Roads were mostly fine though, few patches of ice here and there but nothing serious. All in all an enjoyable ride, until I got home and had to clean it! Worst part about riding in this weather is having to clean it but it's done now... till the next time.
