Well yesterday was a bit of an uneventful day but very picturesque.
Whilst en-rotue to a meeting on my daily commute to work. I happen to hit a patch of freak weather or snow, which to begin with I thought nothing of as it was only snowing over the crest of the hill and not in the low areas so I thought hey I would carry on as I only had a further 10 miles to go to my destination.
And I had ridden through all that heavy snow falls that we had back just after Christmas without any problems……(you should of seen some of the shock on the car drivers faces seeing a bike out in that two week stretch of snow) but I think that was due to that snowfall being very dry snow compared to typical British snow.
Anyway after about 4 miles into the freak weather I experienced yesterday it started to snow so hard that as I was going along the road/ track lines were actually getting narrower and narrower by the second very un nerving. So I thought I will wait for a lorry to pass and follow that. But to my surprise even that didn’t work as it was snowing so hard that it would slush over instantly, and the lorry just created about 3" of slush which was worst than the snow. Eventually I had to pull over and leave my bike on the side of the road as it was so slippery that I couldn’t even push my bike without falling over lol…
So I spent 2 hours sat in the snow until it stopped snowing and a grit lorry passed ………… most freakish weather ive ever experienced 5 miles either side of me and it was rain/sunny.
