Fantastic Gilles - not just for the Plain in the snow, but for the sheer class of Herbie Hancock's 'Cantaloupe Island' as your accompanying music.

I was out on my local trails in Suffolk yesterday and today. New snow (the other stuff dates from last Mon/Tues, and developed a crackly crust) only really started falling as I rode today, so I actually had some my best riding since the end of the summer - loadsa grip on a good hard surface, but with a bit of sliding if I wanted to.......

I enjoyed that Gilles and would love to know where it is! ๐Ÿ™‚

Agree about the music, it was excellent.

Elaine, just on top of the plain back of Warminster, then Eastleigh Wood near Longleat Forest. I'm happy to swap a trip to Swinley Forest to show you around anytime.

Thanks for that Gilles. Unfortunately I can't ride much these days due to health problems. Apparently a lot of tracks in Swinley have been closed, there's new trails currently being built but it just won't be the same!

Will look forward to some more vids from you. ๐Ÿ™‚
