Hi guys

Has anyone been riding up at dalby recently? Planning on going riding there on Tuesday, guessing there'll still be snow about, but is it all Rideable?

Cheers guys

it was totally unrideable last week and is unlikely to have melted, especially given the current temperature and Dalby topography. We also had a fresh snow fall last night in Yorkshire as well...

It is still unridable.

Did a Xmas night walk looking for Santa on Friday.

Unridable due to at best 6" of snow and loads of trees are down which will keep it unridable for a while after the snow has gone.

Short of being able to ride round the forest drive that's about the limit and even that's hard work climbing up from Staindale lake

Trails are at least 6-8" fresh snow on top of about 12" of ice and that doesn't even mention the fallen trees, I would forget it for about a month at least and that's if we don't get the snow on Tuesday....

Gil, stop it, you're making it sound fun - especially now I've got skinny studded tyres.
