Lets just get one thing clear…winter riding here in the UK sucks! You end up riding in the cold, wet and dark most of the time and even if you stick to the boring main roads you still end up cleaning your bike as much as you ride the thing. I find a good way to motivate myself to still get the miles in is to plan a summer trip to train towards and this year we’re going big, well more accurately high!
