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?

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!

Changed hemispheres!
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!

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 too: no snow at all here

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.
