Default Is that the end of 2k12 rideouts?

Just wondering if its general practise to continue arranging rideouts when the weathers as pants as it is.

Who plans to ride through the winter months?

'Cold weather discussion thread' if you will.

Bordtea refuses to ride in - Blizzards, storms, darkness, fog, light rain, drizzle. When the sun disappears, he hides away in bed

dont mind the cold, would prefer not to ride in the wet. If it is my only means of transport to work then so be it, but if i can use the cage i will

I'll be layering up and riding.

Probably not so much if its wet and not at all if the fritters are about but a bit of cold is fine.

I really hope we've not had the last ride out of the year, but possibly we've had the longest.

Rain is no fun. More to worry about when taking corners. Also as discussed on sat, I won't be riding if the roads have been gritted. Too much hassle with cleaning the bike every time you come home to avoid caliper corrosion etc. Otherwise, don't care how cold it is. I have loads of insulation layers, riding balaclavas, winter gloves with inners and bowls of porridge ready for consumption!

So basically, game for rides in the dry no matter how cold, on grid free roads.

Regardless of weather, I'm a biker and would crawl through broken glass to get to a bike meet!

If its all the same with you we'll try not to schedule bike meets on the other side of patches of broken glass, it plays he'll with the tyres.
