Mid-Week rides wk of 27/2

[Tom]

Forecast is ok tomorrow morning so I plan to be at the usual place/time(9.45/B&Q r'bout).I know Mark is working and Chris is cycling in the sun but I expect a few others plan to be out.
I plan to ride into Cardiff and back on Thursday,and plan a few hours at 9 o clock(weather permitting) on Friday.I need to be back ib Bridgend by 11.15-not for a big birthday celebration but sadly to attend an AGM followed by a C'tee Meeting!
Let me know if you fancy joining me for any of those rides.

I will be out Friday Tom, so I might see you briefly before you dash off.

I may be out Tom but a bit later so may see you if you are in velo about 11

[Steve Chapman]

Be careful this morning! Lots of accidents in and around the Vale on the school run this morning. I'm gonna give it a miss

[Tom]

Thanks Steve-I was wondering what it was like-I'm not sure if anyone else is out so I'll wait another hour and stick to better roads

A48 shut in parts. llantwit major road shut.
Multiple crashes  / ambulances etc. AVOID!!!

[Tom]

Thanks Chris-not going out at all getting more and more attractive

Owing to a late change of plan I was at BQ at 9.45 but major Tom hadn't taken his protein pill or put his helmet on - must have been X-ray and Stevens posts  - but no ice  in lanes but a lot of water in places that hill in penllyn almost got the better of me think I'll avoid it for a while . Heavy rain at 11.30 so headed straight home

[xrayspecs]

You were fortunate then. Why risk it? I've just seen someone came off and tore their Gabba jacket.
I can also think of several broken hips wrists and clavicles all from ice.
The last time we had a yellow warning of ice i remember; https://www.strava.com/activities/242667233
I think I counted 15 riders off on that day.

[mal jones]

You're quite right  Chris but it didn't seem that cold by 9.30 I  definitely wouldn't have gone out at 8am  I am rather careful as a rule and won't go out if there's ice forecast  as you get older you do tend to take more care as injuries take so much longer to heal

[Paul Longthorn]

I don't expect anyone else to be as foolish as me, or to be at the B&Q Roundabout. So I'm going solo this morning. Chance the catch more rain.    I will be out on Tuesday no doubt for another soaking.
