Day 6 - 29th Dec (Morning)

After a night camping out in my friends man cave I stocked up on breakfast and headed out into the frosty morning...well I would have had I not left my helmet behind in his kitchen. It was only when I noticed that my glasses were missing did I realize what I had done.

Todays ride is the return segment from Royston back home to complete the 70 mile loop.

The original route had me going via the A603 and up grange road. However, I decided to venture out to Harsten and then Great Shelford. Everything went fine until I started my descent down Granthams Road. The road was covered in frost and there were limited places where I could handle the brakes to slow my descent. With only a few opportunities to brake I was able to make it safe and sound to the junction of the A1307 where the conditions were clear of frost.

Overall the route back home was mostly clear of frost or ice. What I did encounter was painless to pass over.

Once home I made a well deserved cup of tea and rested a bit before heading out.
