We rode most of the top section which was clearish under the trees. The snow was at its SPD clogging worst. Its been super icy near Kirkcaldy for the last couple of days. Can barely walk let alone ride. The others I was with on Sunday are away up to the Lomonds today and then Pitmedden. I hope the conditions are a bit better, but I somehow doubt it. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/lets-see-your-icy-conditions#post-973973 Tue, 29 Dec 2009 09:19:26 +0000 hora 973973@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>icy conditions resolved by large gin and tonic.</blockquote></p> <p>They could use that photo for a metrosexual ad to advertise the drink <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_wink.gif" title=";)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> <p>Samuri I was amazed at the amount of people who have been booting it and wheelspinning like crazy to move their car. </p> <p>Being a typical tight Yorkshireman, hearing the shedding of pound coins from tyres was like fingernails down a blackboard to me <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_neutral.gif" title=":|" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/lets-see-your-icy-conditions#post-973840 Tue, 29 Dec 2009 07:05:20 +0000 slimtubing 973840@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>icy conditions resolved by large gin and tonic.<br /> <img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4018/4224098583_b9eb3f4f50_o.jpg"> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/lets-see-your-icy-conditions#post-973767 Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:35:30 +0000 devs 973767@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>We&#39;ve had snow on the ground for 2 weeks now.

We had a tough session just trying to find the trails. I&#39;ve ridden there dozens of times, its amazing how fickle your points of reference are with a covering of snow and a couple of fallen branches. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/lets-see-your-icy-conditions#post-973518 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 22:18:46 +0000 mikewsmith 973518@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>where in lancs, we are clear here in Whitworth. The road gets gritted if its going to snow and salted if it&#39;s going to freeze. It seems to make a difference if your road is steep &amp; therefore dangerous to slide down into oncoming traffic.</p> <p>Generally my impression of lancs has been good. Back up in Cumbria I rode into to town to get salt to do our road as we are off the road network. Only the major routes are done as is required the rest of us MTFU and got on with it. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/lets-see-your-icy-conditions#post-973489 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 22:11:04 +0000 samuri 973489@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>nope, no grit and no gritters. Lancashire council have been on the radio and telly on a regular basis lying through their teeth about how they&#39;re working as hard as they can to clear the roads.</p> <p>I&#39;ve seen one gritter in the last week, and that was today, gritting a road that was already clear.</p> <p>I reckon they&#39;ve sold off all their gritters believing they&#39;ll not need them any more.</p> <p>A chap at the bottom of the orad has done just that hora, it&#39;s not melted the ice but at least it means you can walk without slipping. I&#39;ve just chopped up the ice with a shovel in front of our house, if everyone did the same the whole road would be clear but obviously that would mean not drinking beer and watching ant and dec so very few others have done it. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/lets-see-your-icy-conditions#post-973479 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 22:07:16 +0000 mikewsmith 973479@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>i got rocksalt which is basically sand &amp; salt breaks down the ice if it above -1ish and the gritty stuff helps with grip </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/lets-see-your-icy-conditions#post-973438 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 21:52:42 +0000 rOcKeTdOg 973438@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2599/4222564796_177597cac4.jpg"> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/lets-see-your-icy-conditions#post-972993 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 19:10:17 +0000 Purplefunkymonkey 972993@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b85/chezi61/DSCF0264.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b85/chezi61/DSCF0266.jpg"></p> <p>Yesterday , Blairadam Forest , Fife. <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_eek.gif" title="8O" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> <p>da funk </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/lets-see-your-icy-conditions#post-972934 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:52:13 +0000 JB 972934@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Rich is Harris on his ass again???
