Spose you'd have to define which spooky wood, everywhere I've ridden has had a local spooky wood lol

It was a bit interesting on saturday, riding along, suddenly BOOM the guy in front goes from vertical to horizontal without apparently ever going through the normal halfway stages. First time I'd bothered going above the meteorite since mid december...

Oh thats bloody rich!

I have it on the best authority that it being icy (and rooty) doesn't make any difference. They don't [i]exist[/i].

You just need to look far enough up the trail mate! ๐Ÿ˜‰

The worse bit is after there - when you cross the upwards Blue route, and then plunge down!

Studded tyres, doesn't fix the problem but helps you go a lot faster on ice. You do need more than 100ft of ice to make them worthwhile though.

I'm guessing all that ice is hidden under a few inches of fresh slushy snow now 8)
