Those living in the UK will have noticed an abundance of fluffy white stuff that has come to settle and generally cause disruption. For those of us used to running and cycling we get a choice.
Do we ride on the road with a bunch of people who have cleared virtually no snow from their windows, and will be driving even more erratically and less attentively than ever, or do we run? When it comes to avoiding wheel spin and morons in cages, there is no substitute for running.
Armed with some snowtrax to give me grip on the ice and an insane desire to prove no weather stops me I have been able to get in and back from work without issue. The limiting factor being how much I am still aching from the squat workout on Sunday.
It can be very amusing to watch the different approaches of drivers in bad weather. One in an old sports car with hideous aftermarket spoiler trying desperately to drive fast and succeeding only in spinning his wheels and traveling barely faster than me, 8mph average in good weather, don't know that day, on a flat section of road. Same patch another driver being more cautious and I overtook them, of the two far less ridiculous and once got to clear road they were gone.
