The Bash is riding really well. One or two small sections of pushing where the snow has drifted but most of it really dry and grippy. The climb from Watendath had a few bits of snow in inconvenient places but I made it past the wall on the first attempt. Descent on the other side a bit of a leap of faith as snow over the rockiest section but all ridable. A few sections north of Seatoller a bit tricker than usual.

Great fun. Want to go back and ride it again.
