Ride to work

Well I wasn't sure where to put this but I just want to wish everyone as VFRD a Merry Christmas and leave you with this photo taken outside my house as I prepare to brave the -12C winter commute to work - Happy holidays! :cheerleader:

Merry Christmas to you too.
Hope you made that first downhill turn.
I don't know how you do it. Or why.
I'd be scared $hitless to ride in this.

That's after I cleared the drive. I guess I'm a good advert for Dunlop's Roadsmart tyres, they're pretty sticky :laughing6-hehe:


In all fairness there has been 2 weeks this winter so far where I did admit defeat, but then so did most cagers out on the road too

Lovely jubbly.............. riding in such conditions..... :biggrin:


I hope you work at a steel factory, so you can warm up quickly....

That's pretty good, and you've been having some nasty weather lately too. When I was in my 20's / 30's I'd ride in snow, now I try to stay away from it.

I have no choice really as I don't have a car at the moment, although to be honest I probably would still prefer to ride! Yup I must have a screw loose or something, but then I am in my 20's :biggrin:

It's kinda funny knowing what some of these drivers are thinkin' when I go past them in all the traffic - I do use Gerbing heated kit... without it, I wouldn't last a mile when it's this cold.

I work as a music therapist so I have a nice warm class room and a big walk-in cupboard to put all my gear, I'm quite lucky, plus the bike parking area is sheltered.

Steve, can you describe what a music therapist does? Is it to help people with mental or developemental problems by listening to music, or do you help people that make really bad music? Tongue in cheeek obviously, but I am interested in your answer!

Steve

hmmm.....Canada has a bit more than UK? Just west of me, long few months for us :(

Hi, thanks for asking. You are on the right track with your 1st assumption; Music is used as a means of communication but to also help with cognitive development - By using improvised music and sound, you can use select instruments as a communicative bridge to connect with the child or client - it's a rewarding job but also very frustrating at times, but it's great to be able to do what I love, combining playing the guitar and helping people :biggrin:


By the way Jay, believe me we have had tons in the UK - very unusual though to be honest, my back garden last week....
