Possibly, but it is 500m above sea level so pretty chilly and there will probably be quite a dump of snow tonight.
Unless it warms up and rains quite a bit I doubt it will melt quickly.
I don't doubt the road will be clear though.

The plenty of rain we've had today will probably have cleared the snow .
Metcheck says dry and cold for Sunday so far.
Looking forward to seeing you then
.
PM me for a mobile number for last minute cancellations on the day? I'll have to get some credit mind.
Maybe do a final roll call on Saturday for those thinking of coming so we have an idea who to look out for (and where)?

I don't think the Snake was even closed today so it can't have been that horrificly bad or maybe it was. From speaking to other people there certainly was a fair splodge of snow but mostly people getting into their cars like crazy and gridlocking. There did seem to be a fair bit of milling around needlessly in cars to me.

I'm OK for a long ride - just asked (Longers will know 
).... and it's probably my Ribble that will be out, with a 23 max (cos it only has 7 rear gears..... very yester-millenium)...so expect some funny noises from me... 
I'll be watching the weather...forecasts say OK....
Are we all OK with non-mudguarded bikes...you know spray and poo in the following riders face ? :?:

I have guards but have so little fitness that I will probably be several miles behind the rest of you.
