Had a quick blast. It's just started snowing here. Apparently. I can't see any though.

2 hours at lunchtime, rock solid ground conditions (temperature never got above minus 4) with a wee dusting of snow, mucho fun and a spotlessly clean and dry bike too.

Will be at the track tonight (Manchester), riding in shorts and short sleeve jersey. I bet *that* doesn't count, either..! 8)

Yep, just got back.

We set off under a bright blue sky with a temp of -2. The trails were bone dry frozen. It clouded over on the way round, then it started snowing. Light at first, but now snowing quite heavily.

Just having a cup of tea with a dash of whiskey in. ๐Ÿ™‚

Gary,
Yes, our lovely supermarche had a special offer on Bushmills.
So I treated myself.
Gotta say, it's very nice.

Rode Llandegla last night in the dark, with some mates. 1700ft up in places, Holy cow it was cold beyond belief. Frozen Camelbak pipes, and bike encruted in a layer of ice, how nice, hope my fork seals etc are ok ! luckily I was in the middle ring when the front mech froze completely solid ! So I managed round in that, If I'd have been big ringing it at the time it froze up then things could have got harder work ๐Ÿ™‚

No snow but the trails are frozen so no mud, yay! Lots of patch of ice about though.

Just a quick (or not so quick) run up above Drumnadrochit, Loch Ness.
3" of powder snow in places, clear skies and -6
Haven't been out for 5 weeks, think this has helped get my mojo back !

A 7.30am ride to our self storage place (moving house) to swap over bikes only to find they didn't open until 9.
Rode home and drove there later with bike in car on route to mates house
