Almost winter bike time? :(

Curious as to when everyone's shiny carbon goes into hibernation and the winter bike emerges.

It's coming soon....

Gutted at the thought of putting my bike on the wall for the winter but running that through the worst of it would be a very expensive exercise in "how quickly can I wear out bits I cant really afford to replace".
It's gone full RED since that pic.

Last winter (including one crash on ice) was pretty hard on my winter bike - 500 to 1000 miles a month in all weathers and conditions
