« on: 21 December 2014, 04:42:46 pm »
This thread is aimed at all you fair weather riders, I've always got something to do in the summer, riding the mighty fazer is at the top of my to do list followed by kayaking on the thames, mountain biking and playing around with my old Japanese classic motorbikes.....all fair weather activities, iam at a loose end when the cold weathers here..so...what do other foccers do when the winter months are with us  ?
One, is never going to be enough.....

People call me a fair weather rider on the basis of I don't do rain- or wet or threat there of, so long as its dry and there is no dry salt around then im ok in the cold, been out yesterday and today. I dont do dark either, which we do have more of in the winter. but thanks to the shortest day today that is now being sorted.
I may actually even do more riding in the winter than summer as in the summer im cutting the FOCing grass when I should be out on my bike.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

I usually prefer fair weather, but I'll go out in anything if I have to

But across winter I usually end up getting in to trouble on 4 wheels... for some reason I keep managing to do major projects in the cold facing the worst of the elements. I'll learn one day. Perhaps.

Fly the helicopter - it's amazing how many clear, cold days we get over the winter, with good visibility.


In the summer, most sunny  weekend days are taken up with the bikes.
