Joined: 21 Oct 2013 Posts: 2 Bike: | Thank you for your quick reply. I've just read some forecast for winter season. Suppose to be some snow in January/February, but every day without the snow and with temperatures above freezing point will do good for me. I've been to Swansea before (in November), but I'm not sure, what they do, if there is ice on the road. They don't salt it, right? It's just the sand they use? |
