You picked the coldest morning this week- big fat zero degrees on the car readout when I went past Willingham this morning! I do feel for the car drivers that happen to pull into the layby when it is mobbed by bikers- quite a few drive straight through thinking it's a riot! |

It was really windy as well. Can't wait for a bit of decent weather because one of the problems going out when it's cold is the time it takes to get ready.
Willingham is is an odd place, it's a rubbish cafe in a layby but is absolutely snided with bikers in good weather.

I was tempted to go to work on my bike this morning just over 15 mile but decided against it , i,m glad as on my way home down the a61 Dronfield bypass it hammered down , sleet and hail stones , i must be getting nesh in my old age , having said that my aussie mate once gave me a open face helmet and it hail stoned on me and there was no visor , my face was in agony and that was in june , i always think of that when i see folks on quad bikes with no helmets on when it,s cold , i bet there cheeks are screaming , still i have been using my bike through winter for short commutes and enjoyed it , Where is Willingham woods ? and i agree your bike looks mighty fine , THANKS for sharing your trip !

Just outside Market Rasen Commuting on a bike in winter is no joke and it's chapeau for those that do. |
