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 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.
