Two bikes on my drive and snow up there with the clouds above 900 m. on Skiddaw. Cumbria all-weather biker Andrew C rode his Versys 650 over from Kirby Stephen on the Pennines for coffee and a chat.
That was semi-heroic riding, my garden weather station shows just 6°C (up from 4.5°C at dawn) and still gusts to 50 km/hr (30 mph). He has electric heated grips and seat plus wearing many layers, then a microfibre balaclava and skull-cap.
My bike was out of the garage so I could remove the battery, to store it warm in the house during the winter weather.
A sleet shower was getting going as he left to continue his ride round Lakeland. Heroic all-weather rider.
