A couple of photos from the 8th Jan. Had a couple of hours to spare and thought, while it is cold it's a glorious day so need to get out and ride.
There was a bit of frosty ice on our small road but not too bad, the main road was clear but had been gritted a day or so earlier but was damp in places.
Plan was to head south on the back roads. This was scuppered when I crossed the main main road and turned up the hill only to find it covered in decent ice. I had another local rider come past heading towards town and he said all the back roads were frozen and pretty dangerous. Not much choice then, left or right on the main road. Right it was and the long uninspiring grind into town. despite it being below zero all day, it was actually a nice Sunday ride into town which was quite busy with people being out making the most of the sunny day. The surfers were out in force at Thurso east as it was a pretty decent swell. So not that exciting a ride but a nice one anyway as always good to be out riding.
