Sat Dec 30, 2017 - Ride with the little man in the very cold weather

Out for a ride today with my little man.
After yesterdays drive back from Loch Lomond in some pretty heavy lying snow it was then a shame to have sunny and icy conditions today. We could see snow to the south and Hoy only had a dusting this morning compared to yesterdays whiteout looking conditions when we got home.
Anyway it was a nice afternoon so we wrapped up and Caleb was on his little 16'er I dusted of the Mercian for a leisurely roll round the countryside with Caleb picking the random route through farm lanes etc.
After a while we noticed that there was a fog closing in from the east, first the wind turbines disappeared and then it just got greyer and greyer with the temperature dropping considerably, as if it wasn't already very cold. There was still a fair bit of ice left on the roads and gravel tracks but we both stayed upright.
Not far or exciting but it was good to turn the legs after a couple of days away.
Hope everyone else has some decent riding weather and manages to get out this weekend and also hope all macretros have a very Happy New Year, hopefully we will catch up soon.
