    Starting to get really down without that adrenaline rush I was getting all summer. It's too cold to go fast on the road. What do you guys get upto in winter to get your fix?

    Yeah maybe I'm an old 25 year old but sitting in and playing on a games console doesn't give me any buzz at all!!

    Me neither. This winter my plan is to...

    Train and enjoy my new dog.
    Get out on the mountain bike in the woods for fitness and kicks!
    Try and get in better shape for the next season.

    Would love an enduro to go out on in winter but just don't have the space or spare cash :(

    Lol.... Mate, I'm not the one sitting indoors watching riding tuition dvd's?? What were they called again!? Snickers and cuppa my arse... ;)

    And if I had to train to worry about meeting you on track. I'd sell the blade. ;)

    I will have lots on over the winter. once I get my op done ai can really get into stripping the kit car down ready for a part re spray. getting a custom tank made for touring as the 25ltr tank is small and the range is only 120-130 when being careful. Also going to add a windscreen

    But it was the first morning this winter I have had to de-frost the car.

    At least we had a good summer and the winter has been kind so far.

    YT, the old adage, 'you can go just as fast in the wet, as in the dry, its all in the mind' is my motto.

    Winter ridings the buzz mate, controlling the machine on frosty, slime covered, mud covered, leaf detrified, puddle infested, dark unlit lanes at 6 in the morning is a test of bike handling skills like no other, if that don't get you buzzing nothing will. I have no idea why peeps get so excited about hot, sunny days where the tyres are welded to the blacktop and everything feels great.

    Plus I am too fecking tight to pay Southeastern trains exorbitant fares. :)

    Slight trouble typing this as my frozen fingers start to defrost
