Great photo Viper!
Man that looks cold!


I really enjoy sunrises! Often one has to hop off and take the snap - or it's gone in minutes!

postimages works a treat, yes?

I think the forecast was around -1C?  The frozen Dew on the grass does add to the bracing look though.  Potteries to Nottingham in those temperatures? Hope a hot coffee was waiting for you?

Good luck with the new job Viper.

It was indeed around 0 degrees celcius and there were a few ice patches so there were a few skittery points, so I had to take care, but a lot of the road was pretty dry.

I think was using postimg.cc, which works really well. Unlikely my clumsy numberplate censoring!

I've had so much fun over the last 5 years with this ride in to the office. I'm going to have to actually start riding for fun from now on. It'll be a real change of philosophy!
