9/1/10 the big F-F-F-Freeze up!

Whole of the UK frozen solid....might be off to the Gym for me (very boring)

Have signed up for the Peterborough 100 on 18/4/10, along with Tim & Andy H (from LEJOG) - hopefully Praveen will follow suit. (DooGood can't make it)

Will act as a good motivating force to get out & pound some miles once the frost has thawed....

Frustrated by frost over the Christmas period things finally thawed enough to get out on Belle again.
With temperatures at zero I headed out through Grafton to Geddington, and along the bypass coming back along Rockingham Road & through the town
Few dodgy moments on shady icy bits - but great to be out on the road...roll on the Spring!
