    When I got the Blade out and set off, within ten minutes hailstones and snow !!!
    Still I didn't let it deter me and pressed on till I got to here[​IMG]
    As you can probably make out, up high on the moor top along a green lane with snow clouds heading my way... I must be crazy!
    I discovered that cold tyres on a wet cold road and 4k rpm in 3rd gear gives an interesting spin on the rear wheel, luckily in a straight line.
    Took things rather careful after that.

    Tom I think it's because the temperature was akin to your living room in winter :D

    You are mental, mind. I didn't even want to get the bike out of the garage to wash it because it kept going sunny / rain / sunny / hailstones / sunny / rain all day.

    Even yesterday was weird. Our lass and I set out for a walk in the afternoon and it was freezing when we set off. Gloves and hats. Half way round the sun came out and we were peeling off the layers.
