Biking on Ice

It is not a new reality TV show, rather it was alive experience on teh first Dark Knoights Outing of teh year. Part of the cycle track on the traditional route had not yet shed its ice.

Knight Rider did an excellent job of gliding his machine across the fozen expanse without so much as a waiver.

A small posse of three including Bigman and The Wee Yin ventured out on a chilly over cast night.

It was agreed that if Col du Cleish was ice covered, we would head back down. Little did we expect it to start snowing whilst we were cresting the Col. The temperature dropped dramatically and we were in teh midst of a blizzard. The road surface had pockets of ice which could safely be navigated but it was cold.

We are getting close to less than 50 training opportunities before the BIG One
