    Hello there,

    Just wondering is the Phoenix Park ice free now, in particular that corner at the junction of Military and Khyber roads. Haven't been there in quite a while!

    Thanks in advance.

    I haven't been at that junction today but the main road and cycle lanes were completely clear of snow and ice this morning.

    The cycle lanes weren't this morning when I was coming through...didn't come home through the Park as the roads are in too dangerous a state to be cycled on.

    Thanks Fletch, I can imagine the main road through the park in a worse state alright. Would plan to stick to 'Lance's Loop'.

    Actually, is the Strawberrybeds/Lower Road route clear by now? Nearly forgot about that.

    No it isn't ice free. I cycled that way yesterday (mind you it was dark - but I saw enough) and just jumped onto the grass - got fed up of riding on the edge of the road. You have no chance on that hard ice with water on top. Part of the kyber further up the hill is OK, but forget about riding the "Lance Lap". Steer clear is my advice.

    The road is like someone called an airstrike on it. Dunno what they repair that road with, maybe cheese. But every 6 months its in tatters again. Thats with no heavy traffic. Does this happen in other countries the roads fall apart so often?

    Well, I got out there at around the time Collumbo posted.

    Yeap, came down that hill towards the junction and had to stop before it as there was a large patch of ice gradually melting. Junction itself looked ready for 'Dancing on Ice'. Found an alternate route but didn't stay too long.

    Good to get out though!

    lol couldn't have put it better myself! I don't understand it either. The only heavy traffic it gets is the odd open top tour bus.

    I thought this was going to be about some new product!

    Still bits of ice on my own route, and the cycletracks are covered in loose gravelly crap.
