Classic Icicle weather, I think I might opt for a warm bed tonight, can't afford to get sick.

Good luck staying away from this

It's a shame you won't be making it to the ride Steve, but it's understandable.

Lastnight when riding back from a mates property, I got a good taste of the kind of riding I imagine we are going to encounter tonight...thick low-laying fog, bit of wind, greasy roads with gravel scattered, line markings impossible to see, and lots of that crap misty rain with little visibility. The only issue I had was having to wipe the mist off my visor every few seconds to see where I was going. All the gear kept me warm and dry, and the bike felt very settled, so it was a good double-check of everything for tonight.

[KAT]

I'm pumped (or so I keep trying to convince myself).

Heated grip... Check
Winter gear... check
Fog off visor... check
Balls of steel... um... check
