First Frost Fat Ride of the Winter

Woke upto a frost for the first time this winter. We had had plenty of rain and wind of late but no frosty mornings. Normally after a good hard frost we get some nice early morning sun and i just love riding my bikes in these weather conditions. Today we had the frost but no sun just the normal dull overcast & cloudy. It was first ride to test out my new winter boots and it was that cold i dragged out my full winter biking kit.
It was due to rain from 11am so didnt have much time and after a holidays in the Lakes eating / drinking to excess everyday it was going to hard going to slected a steady away route on gentle tracks with a few good climbs chucked in as well to burn some fat off !
There wasnt many people out and about just a few dog walkers and a couple of runners. There was another two cyclists who both had shorts on, I had my Endura Winter longs on!
Below are some photos of the mornings ride.
