No ride yesterday 'cos I had to wait in for the boiler man to call & not fix the boiler!
Today tho' I was hoping for a ride back on the road as they are now clear of snow again but taking a look out of the window revealed a heavy frost! A closer inspection, outside, proved that the road was rather slippery. Fearing that the normal cycling lanes may be dangerous I decided it would be another MTB ride today.
Sticking with the same local park routes the riding was clearly faster but I did find myself putting in a few big efforts on the uphill drags. As it the thaw was starting there were some wet & muddy bits, so by the time I got back home I was somewhat dirty!
A quick change into warm dry clothes, recovery drink & coffee, then as the hosepipe was now defrosted I was able to jet wash & lube the bike so it's sitting poised for duty when needed.
