1st night ride of the year, forcing myself to go out, soo cold! but strapped the lumicycle lights on and met Matt, after loitering in the almost warm confines of his garage we ventured out, once out and warmed up it’s fine and the icy corners keep you on your toes
this shot taken whilst short cutting through a college, tried to get a bit of motion blur, worked up to a point.

frozen ground today made things easier than the usual mud, met a walker in the middle of nowwhere and had an informative chat about badgers! he didn’t ask why i was repeatedly riding up and down this descent towards a camera on a gorrilapod tripod, i guess he thought he was not going to chance the fact i might be some sort of nutball!
