Hello Chris, I've just seen your message. Yes, I was sure. Akeley is known for its sub tropical micro climate, probably due, as Stuart says, to being closer to the sun!
I might have risked riding as it was 3 degrees and due to rise, so any ground frost would probably not have felled me. However, I've been sticking to a simple policy about not going out in the morning if there is ice on the windscreen. Instead I did a short ride after lunch yesterday and a longer one this morning.

Car covered with ice so I'm not risking my bones!

John, Phil, I'd love to join you, but will be in Devon.

Kirsty, I´ve signed up and will probably arrive on time. However, I´m doing a prologue first, so if I'm not there please don´t wait. I´ll catch you up, at Thrift if not before.

Hello Tim, if you think there's a quorum for a B ride I'm up for it.
Reading your WhatsApp comment about Brill, I'd be quite happy to extend the route to the top of Brill and down to Chilton, but let's see. -
Too far on a Wednesday, certainly

Kirsty, Chris,
I'll go with whatever suits you both. -
That would be 1000 Garmin units of climbing and 15 summer mph!

Hi Chris, just to confirm that I'll stick with Plan A, an earlier departure. I'll mostly use your route. If I'm still at Spokes when you arrive I can buy you a coffee as a royalty!
I'm glad you made the right decision, Chris. Mine was probably over cautious, but I chose the option of riding solo today instead and staying a bit warmer.
As to Wednesday, the same situation may arise as it is forecast to be only 2 degrees at 8am after a cold clear night, which spells ground frost, so I may go out solo on Thursday instead. Come to think of it, it might be an occasion to use your Steeple Aston route as the (light) breeze is coming from that quarter.
