    We had a frost and a Met Office warning of 1 cm of snow. I shall be out show boating tomorrow.
    Suitably epic photos will be posted later. I’ll ask an old dear in her mobility scooter if she will take my picture.

    It’s not worth it unless it’s over 2″ deep

    Mine was out in the Surrey Hills frost, honking and thrutching up climbs I’ve not been able to clean on 2×10 geared 29ers – the Puffin’s 32:19 SS.

    Surprising. And painful!

    Didn’t see any sign of them up the Gap today. Just our 2 29ers and about another half dozen lads on 26ers. All enjoying the snow

    130 cm fresh snow is a bit much for bikes…

    Not really a fat bike but it does have 3″ tyres, so it’s a skinny fat, had it 3 days so far and to paraphrase a macdonalds ad campaign I’m loving it 😀

    Went out in the snow for a wee run at 2pm this afternoon, over 5 hours later and a fair amount of the galloway hills conquered i finally decided to head for home as i was frozen but i knew i had a naga curry waiting for me to warm me up.

    Mixture of electric modes used, Tour, Sport and Turbo for the deepest snow gullys – only had to get off and push once (and i found out it has a walk button on the speed controller that engages the motor at a very slow walking pace so that you can push it easily up climbs or through deep-deep snow. Still has 2/5 battery power left so i guess it would have been good for 80+miles if i was careful.

    Sooooo happy with it, 😀

    North moors still had a decent amount.

    Warmed up overnight and pretty much all gone now I reckon.

    Jam Bo : If you’re ever up in the D+G area riding the 7stanes and you want to try it out then give me a shout on here – you’ll want one though so be prepared 😀 , It’s gonna take me a while to leave the house on it t’day as my homemade Naga curry was rather more powerful than i initially bargained for…….

    my homemade Naga curry was rather more powerful than i initially bargained for

    Was it Naga-saki curry then? Sounds like it would melt any snow within a mile or two of the ‘fallout’!

    I imagine the IAEA will be contacting me shortly to imply sanctions, There’s certainly one part of my anatomy that will not feel the cold t’day.
