Duck Duckety Duck Ducking Ice!!!!!

[Drew Carey]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........

It seems that the nice men at the council have thought it would be a great idea to grit the main roads but the entire estate is like an ice skating rink!!!!!

First corner out.......Oooooooppppppsie.......

Everything is fine other than a few light scratches on fairing, R&G's worked (Again) and brake lever bent. Going to unbend the brake lever later, the other two bits are pointless at the mo.

Anyway.....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr once again. Chuffing Ice.

oooops!!! sorry but I`m a bit of a wimp and at the first sign of ice it`d be bike back and car out! Hope you`re ok

[dizzyblonde]

oooopsy daisy..silly moo. Said to Im Indoors this morning, i don't thinnk you'll be offf to work on the bike...he rolled over and went back to sleep!!!

It did snow ere it did

Sorry to here that, Bikes and ice just don't mix.

OOoopsie, bad luck matey. The ice is bad at the moment, we had freezing rain last night, so all the roads here are slick with black ice. Looked out this morning to see a tractor pulling someone out the hedge....

Take care all

bleedin ell mate, sorry to hear! not had it back long

[Drew Carey]

Yeah not had it back long at all, but, none of the repair work was effected luckily....... not particularily annoyed this time, little damage and I'm tickedy boo....... just glad that I didn't do it on other ice at more speed further along my trip.

Whooopsidaisies Drew, glad you're reyt tho!

Take care everyone!

Bad luck mate, my mate said his estate was like a rink too. least the R&G's minimised the damage, need to get me some of them!

it looked fine when I set out this morning (apart from nearly falling on my **** twice on the yard!) but thought the roads will be gritted and OK.

Took it steady and got onto the main roads, was fine, thought it will be ok, but half way it started hailing! (ouchie! them things frickin hurt at 30-40!) as I carried on the hail had filled any gaps between the stones and then frozen over, came to slow down to bear left and kept on heading towards the car waiting to pull out

managed to make the corner and pulled over, decided I was closer to work though so finished my journey, but half mile further on I made it out the other side of the clouds and the roads were fine again! what a weird day! hope my trip home is less eventful, although in the dark....

Yeah, you need to be very careful- councils obviously have to concentrate on main roads so when it's a real hard snap like this back streets can suffer. Mine's a bit dodgy just now- we got snowed on last night so with the frozen ground it's evil- so I'm cycling to work instead for a few days... Bikes and ice just basically don't mix

Glad there was no big damage though!
