christmas begins...

Have been trying very hard to avoid all chocolates, mince pies and cakes at work with only limited effect. This culminated in a works christmas party with more drink than I'm used too and lots of food!

P, I and a few friends went out on tuesday night for a night ride. It was a beautiful night. It started with a light shower of sleet but cleared to a starry night. We covered 18 miles on the local roads, tracks and trails. I even surprised a tiny mouse as it scuttled across the trail in front of me. It must have been very cold!

Thursday was again very cold and clear, with more icy roads. Again my ice spikes were brilliant. It snowed on the way home, that hard pellet type of snow not the soft fluffy stuff, and made to roads a wee bit interesting! Unfortunately it was short lived, and didn't put much down.

Not been running for over a week now, and I'm chaffing at the bit. Tomorrow is christmas shopping, but I may get out afterwards. Sunday looks like it may snow, so we shall see.
