Gem of a winters day
 

2 Weels before Christmas and its 10C with dry roads. What a gift of a day. Quick stop along the Kennet & Avon Canal (Newbury) watching the swans being fed.

So you won't have to worry about snow on Christmas then

Have not seen snow over Christmas ever in my life :laughing7:
I just love the heat, won't cope anywhere else

If you ride up the mountain at ceres in winter you could do it

Been there - Matroos mountains, but not over Christmas :sunny:

My grandfather was a apple farmer on the first farm at the top of the mountain pass

Hey Jacque, I bet it's good to be out on the bike. ..10 degrees is fine by me this time of year!. Being here in Costa Rica has made me realise how much this climate doesn't suit me... I really prefer the temperate climate and seasonal changes of home as strange as that sounds!. As amazing as Costa Rica is I would swap 80 degrees and the jungle for 10 degrees and a lovely leafy lane without hesitation ...mmmmm only 6 months till Ireland! Steve
