We've had some nice spells of sunshine in Solihull for snowy walks, but the snow on the roads kind of made a ride on the bike a no no.

We've just tried to go out. Went sideways twice in less than half a mile, the roads round here are sheet ice despite the warmer temps and sun!

Be careful!

Lovely and sunny here in Wilts, thought "here we go, out for a blast" then noticed the pond had re-frozen last night and it's still icy

Call me chicken, but I'll go for a walk instead.

I went out and found the battery had died

Spent the afternoon raking leaves instead with the battery on the Optimate.

Was desperate to get out on bike as have not used for 2 weeks

Fingers crossed started first time

Only had an hour spare so did a quick 50 mile round trip to Warwick

Really enjoyed

Cheers Steveg
