Had a brilliant ride today. Difficult conditions away from compacted snow, but worth it for the stunning day. -10C, no wind, perfect blue skies.

And finally, get yerselves a pair of Snow-Spats (TM)

Lovely. I'm guessing localish to me, but where exactly?

Spean Bridge and Leanachan Forest Geoff.

You in Perthshire?

Looks like a good ride- surprised I've not been over there myself.

Visibility here was about half of cock all and so my ride was a bit of a rummage into nothingness.

You in Perthshire?

Yup – bloody cold out today.

looks rubbish, bike looks nice tho. Good job Mr S

great pics 🙂

Excuse my ignorance for asking but what are snow-spats? My feet got quite cold on a recent ride and I could be in the market for spending some cash to try and keep my tootsies a bit warmer.

oh 8)

looks like a pair of winter boots, long tights and a marigold over the top to stop water seaping in!!

Cuckoo,

If you send me a lot of money I can make you a pair from an old pair of Marigolds order some for you…

😀

Cracking pics stuartie (apart from the spats!)
The perfect winters day…enjoy!

Bike is riding well Radog. Shame about the worn-out rider.

Spats are brilliant twang – a triumph of function over form!

Oi! I think that idea has already been patented.

Great photos btw. Is that bridge on the way down to/up from Gairlochy?

looks awful. 🙂

entered kielder yet?. This rider has done jack all over december due to injury and holiday so training begins in January

Yup, sure is Onion.

High Bridge, over the River Spean. The site of a Jacobite battle in 1745.

Not entered Kielder yet Greg but I WILL do it. Got a goal of sub-10hr so lots of training needed.

love ya motivation. Serious training for me as well, hopefully 8.5 hrs!!!

😳

yes, of course i knew that all along really, ahem.. just testing you.

Sounds like it could do a job though. My feet didn't get really cold until it started snowing and the snows melted causing my socks to become wet.

I wont order a pair now as maybe santa will have some for me tomorrow. 😉
