-2 this morning on the way to work cleveleys to Preston. My hands were in agony! (no heated grips on the little fazer)

-5 overnight here, which has managed to reduce my office down to a temperature just barely above 10

Heating costs are ridiculous but hopefully by early evening it will be double that :P

My phone said it was -10 in Colchester this morning

I was in the car though which was good since my heated gloves have packed up.

I lived in Leytonstone (not far from Cathall road leisure centre, if you know the area) before I moved out here. Moving was one of the best things I've done

Red98 i think we will get on when we meet our humour very similar. Lol. Shorts in this weather? Madness. Its warmed up now. Bout 1 deg in the smoke. Seen 3 accident today so far. No one hurt tho. Very busy as all the pussy riders didnt show up. They must own 600's.

ARRRRRRRRR!!

Rode 70 miles this morning from Kent to London,,, heated grips on highest setting, cool!

(had a new back tyre fitted last night as well to add to the fun factor)

Wednesday morning was -8 but rose to a balmy -6 through the day. Today in the morning was -5 but -1 just now with the snow on the way, no biking for me for a while yet

. Bloody cold out on the quad just now tho. All the outside taps are frozen so having to take buckets of water from the house to the kennels.
