Steve,
Is that some of antifreeze that you are drinking?
According to my outside thermometer it's about 0 Centigrade outside!

I survived the cold today better then I thought. Surviving the roads was a tougher challenge. The lockdown made the A303 easy even going even past Stonehenge but the country roads leading to my job was a different story.

The ridgeway had a better surface.

Re: Daily Fixing and Riding Diary on an Ariel 2021
Fancy job today, Foxhill golf course.
There wasn't much snow at all when I got to my first job at Foxhills near Chertsea.
Just brushed off leaving a dry seat, good snow
I had another job just up the M3 near Kempton Park next then a ride down to Pulborough to finish something I had measured last week.
Wasn't all plain sailing, along the road to Pulborough she started coughing then splutted and squeaked to an undignified stop near a village shop. Not all bad then. Both nuts holding the carb were just about to fall off. Within 4 minutes I was off again.
They were keen for me to get these covers fitted to prevent freezing

I think you need winter tyres, Steven.
We have now -24°C and a lot of snow.

I am still impressed Steven. Minus 19 with icy roads here for almost a week and going lower for another week. I am anxiously awaiting spring!
