Hot and Cold

The Quiz was a great success, with lots of happy students, lots of prizes given out and lots of beer sold at the bar.  Everyone was a winner, to coin a phrase!
 
The journey home was cold, but not as cold as the journey in this morning...
 


 
No snow, but a serious frost - there was a lot if ice on the roads - at one point I got off the bike and pushed it!  Not a popular move with the cars behind, but hey I may be a cyclist but that just makes me slightly mad, not suicidal!  I do not want to spend Christmas dead or in plaster, thank you very much!

That is some serious frost! Almost looks like our plants after an ice storm. Makes for great pictures though!
Glad to hear your pub quiz was such a success! Like you mentioned earlier, you should include us Americans in your survey questions. May make things a little more challenging! Plus, we get to play too! :)

Pretty!
I'm definitely not a fan of bicycling on ice. It's just *crash* and then it seems the crash continues forever! Friction is our friend.

Brr! Great pics though. It's been warmish here but that's going to change.

At least when/if you hit a patch of black ice, you won't have far to fall. Ride on, dude.

Ice cycling. That would be an interesting olympic sport to watch.

It's not the riding on icy roads is the problem, it is the sudden stops and contact with the pavement that cause all the trouble.

Nice frosty pictures. Stay warm.

Wow, RC! Truly stunning pictures!

I saw a cyclist downtown the other day. He had snow tires on his bike. I've never seen that before, though I doubt they'd be much help on ice (or frost, in your case.)
