Any of you commuting the next few days?

Cold commute yesterday and today. But have to say I’m loving it. Looks like another cold one tomorrow with some light rain in the early afternoon. Still beats driving in heavy traffic!

We could get wet going home this evening!

wicked headwind this evening but it dried the road up at least. first commute today in a while after Ive had some hip and quad strains and really enjoyed it.

Main roads will be gritted but housing estates will be dodgy.

I think you can judge it by your local conditions. as your whole journey is along the coast, quite likely that there won't be ice.

Yeah I commuted in on a bike this morning, about 7km in north Dublin city. You'd need to be very careful and be fully clued in to the road ahead. The roads were gritted but because of all the rain there were some icy areas. In all honesty probably not the smartest move but with schools back this morning that makes driving pretty much not an option.

Did 15km myself from the northside over to the southside, roads seemed absolutely fine until I got to RTE, bit of ice on the cycle track around did.

Was at 08:30am mind you, so a lot of what you were seeing might have melted by then.

Cycled the last few days but hate going through the Phoenix Park when it's frosty as the OPW never grit/salt and it can be lethal. Took a bad spill a couple of years ago at the Park Gate St roundabout when it wasn't even that frosty, was like an ice rink.

The alternatives of Chapelizord or Navan Road/Blackhorse Avenue however are horrible but safer in the frost so will try that tomorrow. Was fairly nervous going through this morning (06:30) as large puddles to the side of the cycle track were frozen over and areas looked glossy. This evening there was a biting wind (bhí nimhe sa gaoithe) and while I usually avoid those cursed raised ramps for the Dublin Bus stops there was a constant line of speeding cars passing the first one so ventured over it and felt the front tyre loose traction.

Are they the metal ramps like this?

Considering cycling from D24 into the city centre tomorrow. First time on a bike since before Christmas!

Anyone spun through Templogue, Terenure, Rathgar, Rathmines over the past few days? How was it?

I managed to hit the deck this morning walking, before I even got to the end of my drive (about 10 feet), so think I’ll give the bike a miss tomorrow….
