bit more snow today but not a lot, (and no there isn't a bolt in my stem it has the old clamp type headset in case you are wondering)

We haven't had any more snow today, but it's forecast for tomorrow (there goes the Sunday club road ride, I'll have to get out on the mountain bike again!)

I love the bike by the way! Do you have any high-res pictures of it you could post?

Sorry, that was off thevibone. Don't know how it got on its side.

I will see what I can do, its a new camera and I am as technical as my bike.

Is that your only bike? And your job advert?

Managed 15 miles of slippin'-n-slidin' yesterday, great stuff!

From Friday - did also get out on Saturday but no pictures... did around 30-35km on Friday and about 20km on Saturday.
But a black and white bike in snow does not stand out very well!

Still no snow here
You are all braving the elements with gusto, well done my heroes

From today's ride. Initially when I set out it was going to be 7 miles, ended up doing 15 over a variety of road and off road terrain.

I started off with the intent of climbing to the top of Crickley hill, so I began the climb up Dog Lane.

However Crickley turned out to be occupied by people sledging and cows!

So I followed on up an A-Road for a few hundred meters where I found this snow plow.

And this snow formation which I thought looked pretty neat.

Google maps said this was a standard cross-roads junction. To get off the A-Road I had to carry my bike down the side of the bridge!

I found a look-out point I'd never been to before, so I sat there for a bit watching some lads spin doughnuts around the abandoned car park in a Volvo.

I arrived in the small village of Birdlip.

From Birdlip I took some off-road trails along the ridge...

And then followed them down the hill.

I then joined the road from where I finished the descent of the hill and began my way home.

I was starting to get cold feet by the end of the ride, but it was all great fun!

I'm missing out my 23mm haven't been out since Saturday and I don't have space for another bike

 

[Pat "5mph"]

I'm missing out too: no snow at all here

 

[Andrew_Culture]

I'm inspired to get out there at lunchtime now!

Here's a photo that I've already posted elsewhere from Saturday:

What a gorm!

At the moment, I have had it years and only just rebuilt it. I am going to fetch my road bike out of storage soon and have a go at putting that back on the road. In the mean time I am looking at getting an old frame off ebay and turning it into a training hack, finding a good 25" locally is a bit of a problem though.

Excellent and inspiring. One bike for all seasons and rides.
