Had a quick blat out with Doug (thanks mate) and Lanza Dave this morning - holy cow I confess to questioning my sanity after the 1st 2-3 lanes but as the morning went on and the frostbite took hold all my extermitys went numb and the pain eased .....
Certianly focussed the mind riding on all that ice specially the tamaced bits, holy moley ended up in the ditch a few times looking for some traction
JT just about covered it with regard to being a little slippy, so i must confess to lying down at the bottom of a particularly long stretch of snow covered ice, touching the front brake lever was not thre right option, so a brusied lower right leg (foot peg) and dented expansion pipe was not what i had in mind.
But apart from the cold was a very good quick ride.
