03-Dec-2012 : The ice cometh!

I went out on the ‘Bird yesterday – it was fairly dry and quite sunny for a December morning, so I went up to the newly-refurbished café at the former RAF Defford airfield near Croome Park for coffee and a bacon butty – but I think the mornings are going to start to get icy now and I’ve decided to switch from the bike to the car for the daily trip to work. I know there will probably be nice days but I don’t want to have to make the decision each morning as to whether I’m taking two wheels or four, so as I do at about the start of December every year, I just make the switch and stick to it. The ‘Bird will just come out at weekends from now on. When the weather brightens up in a couple of months or so, I’ll switch back. I don’t mind cold and wet, but I hate icy. It’s a shame because I look forward to jumping on the bike at the end of the day… *:(
