There isn’t five feet of snow on puke hill, my crazy gf was out walking this afternoon up the pentlands and its knee to thigh deep, deeper on parts of capelaw where the wind has blown it, and shallower in other parts where its been scoured. Anyway it was slow going walking so cycling would be heroic going – its beautiful though, but I can’t be *rsed uploading the photos right now.
I’ve just been out for an hours spin round in town, round a loop in the Hermitage, its actually really rideable and good fun where the snow has been compressed a bit. Its still and dry cold snow so quite grippy and fairly fast rolling, as soon as you go off the walked-on bits you flump to a halt though. The side roads are pretty slow going with deep ruts so its quite slow to get around. I think you’d get a good ride on arthurs seat or anywhere else where the snow has been compacted a bit.
