Just a heads up guys, i went from stirling to Kinross and back today and the roads were VERY icy over about 40% of the run. Be careful out there.

The main roads around st Andrews area are not too bad but the side roads are horrendous. Last night it rained then froze and hasn't defrosted all day. Not sure if I'll be able to get out my street. Will look in the morning and see.

I second that one!

Newcastle was completely frozen up by 10pm last night and was still frozen in parts this afternoon.

I'm in and I'm out. Skating rink. Even in balmy Glasgow. Even exchanging my Sidis for Bauer Turbos ain't going to keep my SV on the straight and narrow.

Saving my possible cracks, chips and dislocations for Monday morning where at least I get paid for making the effort.

Just arrived at work, roads aren't too bad in Glasgow but it's minus 3!

One of my colleagues came in by bicycle from Lochwinnoch mind you so it can be done.

I'd go! If I lived in Cupar...

What KG said.

Grrr I am kinda still up for this especially after doing work on my bike on Friday. However i have a cold, I can barely walk over the car park of our flats let alone drive over it, then I have a few streets to get over til the main road. Kirsty says its mad and she aint doing it, and forecast says it doesn't get over freezing all day really. So all in all its not worth the risk I spose... grumble!...

I know I put the poll up to arrange this but I'm going to bale out folks as the roads here are just sheet ice. I am not risking it as I won't even get off the side streets.
If anyone is going to go then be very careful. The A91 from dairsie to guardbridge is covered in mud.
Maybe plan next years ice cream run for September!!!

Hi guys, I got my SV last Tue after passing mod2 and it's the only day I've been out on it. Was keeping an eye on this as it would have been nice to meet up. I'd like to do it in one piece though!

Oh joy. Just been presented with a 'well if you are not going to St Andrews...' list of tedious domestic chores for the day.

This isn't about apportioning blame. But believe me, I'm holding you lot responsible for this!
