Well I think I can probably say that I have now popped my winter biking cherry.
  My bike usually goes away with the clock changes, but with the new bike I have now ridden in the rain and now happy to ride in all conditions. 
 Managed a couple of hundred miles today in chilly temperatures with wet roads, slippery conditions, frost in places and the last bit in the dark. 
 The funny thing is I really enjoyed it. 
 Now off to look for heated grips and automatic nose wiper
